OSX Async Progress Ani.gif

PLATFORM(s): Mac OSX
LANGUAGE(s):  Rev
CLASSIFICATION(s): Deployment : Interface

The standard OSX  asyncronous progress indicator (the grey 'flower' with 
chasing 'petals') is  available as a 16px 24-frame, transparent, animated gif. It 
was created from the  24 tiff files in the OSX system folder, scaled to 16px 
as required by the OSX  HIG (Apple Human Interface Guidelines 2005-8-11, page 
138). The 4kb file size is  very much smaller than the combined size of the 
tiff files, so it has a very  small impact on your stack size.

Suitable for use on light backgrounds  (white or light grey for example) due 
to anti-aliasing that will display the  'halo' effect on dark backgrounds.
