Yes. But what does that last check box do?

Below is straight from Glide’s documentation, but I played with it a bit and I’m not entirely sure either. My original though was there was a difference between the sign in screen background and the loading screen background if you are already signed in and the app is loading. I couldn’t see a difference. The background image showed on the loading screen weather or not the checkbox was checked.
