Talk:Throbber
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Actually safari does havea Throbber, it is the "spinning wheel" that also is being used by other applications.
If that is the wheel made out of a number of black/grey circles moving about (I've never used Safari!) Mozilla also uses that throbber- it's been kinda copied by a large number of Ajax online applications too. I think this page would benefit from an example of that generic throbber. 217.204.11.194 23:51, 19 March 2006 (UTC) CortalUX

[edit] spinning wheel
Does anyone know the origin of the spinning wheel? The wheel in this article looks nothing like the wheel that is used everywhere, although I lack the expertise (viz. there is a probably a program somewhere to do it but I can't find it) to lift the spinning wheel image that is used in Firefox, Safari and every Flex/AJAX web app. It's a standard OSX component - the Interface Builder that comes with OSX has it. I don't see Adobe (Macromedia) just adopting it from OSX though... maybe it has a different origin? I'm sure I've seen it even on the Microsoft site. It's only a matter of time before it's the universal throbber. Gorman 05:05, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Firefox Throbber
I've removed it because the throbber was not the Firefox throbber. The image I removed was Image:Spinning_wheel_throbber.gif, and its description reads:
"Spinning wheel" throbber, created by the Tango Project, inspired by the Mac OS X spinner animation.
I will repeat it again: This throbber is NOT used by Firefox. bCube.talk(contribs); 22:14, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Netscape easter egg throbber?
The large fire-breathing lizard throbber when entering about:mozilla in some versions of Netscape seems to be missing from the throbber list. It would be a nice addition. --62.51.153.52 14:11, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
