You'll have to fork kibana and modify the source code for this @paul1243. If you're up for it the animation is defined here: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/51ec1a855ecb3c19a60aa8814a7d6ddec1175126/src/ui/ui\_render/views/ui\_app.jade](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/51ec1a855ecb3c19a60aa8814a7d6ddec1175126/src/ui/ui_render/views/ui_app.jade)
