Sick and tired of staring at boring batch API screens with little to no joy?

Inspired by the nyan cat pure CSS implementation, this module will alter every single one of Drupal core's progress bars to use it. That's right, just enable this module, and then bask in the glory that is non-boring batch API screens.

Features include

  • Nyan cat animation uses pure CSS
  • Includes awesome background audio (optional, but highly recommended for the full nyan cat experience)
  • Tested on (latest) Firefox and Chrome, and should work on all webkit based browsers
  • Will work on all Drupal batch API progress bar screens out of the box (including fetching updates and any VBO screens)
  • Simple installation and removal (just enable the module and you are good to go)
  • Comes with audio (mp3 or ogg), and uses HTML5 audio tags to play it
  • Configuration options for the audio, including initial volume and an option to remove it completely (sad face)
  • Preview screen to simulate a long running batch API screen, or just a place you can have nyan cat on demand (Drupal 8+ only)

Checking for Drupal updates will never be this exciting ever again.

Tested to work on:

If you have an administration theme that it does not quite work on, or could be better, post a patch in the issue queue.

Installation instructions:

  1. composer require drupal/nyan
  2. drush en nyan

There are no external dependencies for this module.
