Just as a heads up I'm pretty sure using Earandel's graphics is a license violation (his mods are LDO license), and he actually cares about that.

Ah, I see. It's sad that the license is so limited. Then I'll have to change the basic component somehow. Need to think. I'm not very good at graphics

The mod Loaders Modernized has a loader graphic that is MIT license.

You probably can still use this as it is, but it must use AAI Loaders as a dependancy, without modifiying its code.
Your own mod-code would then side-load over whichever parts of AAI Loaders you want different, ie. be "your" part of this mod.

Essentially, you can't use Earendel's graphics or code and say its your own.
You can only reference it as a dependancy, and then plug in your code alongside it.

oops, double posted.

You could probably require AAI Loaders and then force its setting to "graphics only" and hidden, that way your mod would work right away without requiring user interaction.

That is the entire purpose of the graphics only setting, yes.
The way the mod is right now on github, it breaks license.

My comment was about the possibility of "silently" integrating the AAI Loader dependency without requiring the user to change startup settings.
