let me know if this works, it sounds pretty sweet. i was wondering the same thing a while back, but i never looked into it. i wonder if the editor will allow you to use custom loading screens too :D

All of them work.
If you actually have a  key, and aren't using a launcher, then this is what you do:


Save the file into the folder titled "C:\Program Files\StarCraft II Beta\Assets\Textures" (if the folder isn't there, make it), copy your file 14 times (so you now have 15 files) and name them:
loading-avernus.dds
loading-belshir.dds
loading-braxisalpha.dds
loading-korhal.dds
loading-marsara.dds
loading-monlyth.dds
loading-protoss.dds
loading-redstone.dds
loading-shakuras.dds
loading-spaceasteroids.dds
loading-terran.dds
loading-wingsofliberty.dds
loading-xil.dds
loading-zerg.dds
loading-zhakuldas.dds
