Currently, the daemon downloads the blockchain_headers file when the app is launched for the first time, and the only message displayed on the desktop splash screen is "Catching up with the blockchain...".

The daemon's status call has been updated to return 2 additional fields in the blockchain_status property.
is_downloading_headers which is a boolean flag that indicates whether or not the headers file is being downloaded.
headers_download_progress which represents the percentage progress of the file download.

With these fields available, a progress bar can be displayed to the user which improves the user experience.

For additional details, please refer to:
