I personally like the 10.0 wheel better...

    The Aqua blue wait wheel was the nicest, but it disappeared from Jaguar dev builds.

    What was the 10.0 wheel? Someone wanna give a quick history of the Mac OS 10 wait wheel?

    It was smaller, and quite flat in it's appearance. I prefer it too, but it was of course equally annoying.

    You mean that ghetto piece of crap from NEXTStep? It looked like something from System 6. Fugly. That blue BMW wheel was awesome. Some sort of revamped Watch would be cool too.

    I used to use an app that would change your wait curser, At first I had that blue wheel from the dev builds of Jag but I found an even cooler one which was a glossy "Aqua" looking watch.

    And it was fixed ages ago in the very first builds of Safari 1.1. Unfortunately, Apple has chosen not to release it yet and is only available with Panther (for the moment).

    second that. it is still the best from *everything* else i have seen, be it in mighty mouse, blobber, beachball, you name it. and the rainbow wheel is "BDONKA DONK BUTT FUGLY" (courtesy of some MacNN dude), now and then, and will always be.

    anyone ever try to erase a cd in diskcopy and see the bizarro wheel? it's no a wait cursor, it's actually in the dialog box asking you to confirm whether you want to erase the disc. it's as if someone took the standard mac os x rainbow wheel into photoshop and hit "invert..." (or is it inverse?)



    jesus tapdancin' christ, that is ugly.

    The current spinning cursor makes me think "Gay pride" for some reason.

    That's very progressive of you.

    What I'm waiting for is a White Stripes theme for OS X where the spinning wheel is white and red like a peppermint candy.
