Created attachment 14229 [details] Screenshot of throbber from media viewer in BetaFeatures The media viewer throbber in the BetaFeatures extension appears to be low resolution and looks kind of bad. Screenshot attached.
It's called a spinner in the code. :-)
Mark: did this get fixed? I think the throbber/spinner may be gone now (I looked at mediawiki.org briefly and it didn't seem to be there).
It got "fixed" but only in that we don't use this library anymore. In core, we should fix the bug more resolutely by using APNG or just a properly alpha'd GIF. Test on a variety of coloured backgrounds to make sure.
Note: The library in question is resources/jquery/jquery.spinner.js - the files that need changing are resources/jquery/images/spinner.gif and resources/jquery/images/spinner-large.gif - just so you know where to go :)
[[mw:User:Splarka/Throbber]] If this bug report is only about MediaWiki core's generic throbber, this is probably a duplicate.
Created attachment 14304 [details] Another kind of spinner Was wondering if we could go for another kind of spinner ? Not necessarily this.
Oops, sorry. Just wanted to rename it.
