Advanced Layerslider – turn off loading circle

Hi support,
I have what I hope is an easy one. I am using the advanced layerslider, and have only one slide. When it loads, a little progress indicator appears in the upper right corner. Once all animation and loading is done, the circle stays on the screen, looking like an error, or a 3 whole punch circle in the top right corner. Is there a way to disable it, or have it disappear after it loads?
I have googled around for a solution, and the only thing I can find is instructions to “go to global settings and turn off image preload” from about 4 years ago when it was just “layerslider”. I can’t find anything called global settings or image preload in any of the 2018 layerslider settings.

Any help would be appreciated to help me remove this cosmetic unpleasantness! Here is a screenshot of how it looks after loading, with the circle visible in the upper right:
