If you want to change only images, just set them in your asset with this names (the framework check firstly in the main bundle):

• loading : "hg_default-loading"
• no_connection : "hg_default-no_connection"
• no_results : "hg_default-no_results"
• error : "hg_default-error"

The framework contains different defaults placeholders:

• Basic :

tableView.placeholdersProvider = .basic or collectionView.placeholdersProvider = .basic

• Default :

tableView.placeholdersProvider = .default or collectionView.placeholdersProvider = .default

If you want to change the default palceholders for all table views in your project:

class ProjectNameTableView: TableView {

    override func customSetup() {

class ProjectNameCollectionView: CollectionView {

    override func customSetup() {
