Hi Richard,

"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. www.FlexibleLearning.com/xtalk/OSXspinnerANI.zip
This site also allows you to build a wide range of custom progress
indicators for free (especially useful if you need to specify a color to
match your UI)... http://www.ajaxload.info

I'm looking for a freeware animated GIF file of an OS X-style spinning
progress indicator, such as you see when booting the Mac.

Anyone know where I can find one?

I've tried Googling but to no avail...

TIA -
