      <title>Transparent Background Spinners for Ajax</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Gael Pourriel posted the following Ajax spinners with transparent, neutral color backgrounds to the Rails mailing list. Thank you, Gael; these are exactly what I needed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mac Spinner &amp;rarr; &lt;img src="/lib/spinners/spinner_mac.gif" alt="Mac Spinner"/&gt;    &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Moz Spinner &amp;rarr; &lt;img src="/lib/spinners/spinner_moz.gif" alt="Moz Spinner"/&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It looks like you have to wait just a bit faster with the Mac spinner than with the Moz spinner. Right click each image above and select &amp;#8216;Save As&amp;#8217; to have them for your very own web dynamo.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Update: Create your own custom spinners with whatever backgrounds you need at &lt;a href="http://www.ajaxload.info/"&gt;ajaxload.info&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Update 2: Here&amp;#8217;s another eyeful of various &lt;a href="http://www.napyfab.com/ajax-indicators/"&gt;AJAX Activity Indicators&lt;/a&gt;,   a veritable hamster dance of wait-for-it-ness. My favorite:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Moz Orange &amp;rarr; &lt;img src="http://www.napyfab.com/ajax-indicators/images/indicator_remembermilk_orange.gif" alt="Orange Spinner"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Mac spinner has fuzzy edges and does not work well on dark backgrounds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Moz spinner works very well and was tested and looks good in:
XP IE6, 
XP Firefox 2.0, 
Vista IE7,
Vista Firefox 2.0,
Vista Opera 9.24,
Mac Safari
Mac Firefox
Linux Ubuntu Firefox
Linux Ubuntu Opera &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tested on all the above on these background colours:&lt;/p&gt;

DCDCDC - light grey

000000 - black

B8860B - dark brown

F0E68C - light brown

FF0000 - red

000080 - navy blue

FFFF00 - yellow

&lt;p&gt;Our site uses skinnable dynamic backgrounds so this is a great find! Thanks very much! &lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hey,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Do you have huge spinners? Like 300px * 300 px ?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks bro&lt;/p&gt;</description>
