Update Spinner Design
The indicator for a pending activity (process-working-symbolic
) has been stale for quite a while now. There are a few contexts where it doesn't quite work:
- Empty views where a large symbol would be useful. Thick symbolics we use are quite heavy in weight and cannot be reasonably presented over 32x32px size. In addition the gradient fade is implemented as a bit of a hack that doesn't scale up (literally).
- There is a disconnect between the animated spinner and a static representation
content-loading-symbolic
(where animation would be distracting).
Technical Constraints
- Using video/framed animation instead of simple CSS transforms in gtk4.
- Use outside of gtk -- boot/Plymouth.
