Public bug reported: Ubuntu version: Ubuntu 25.04 code name Plucky.
package: libadwaita-1-0 installed: 1.7.0-1ubuntu2 The recent migration of GNOME core applications from GtkSpinner to AdwSpinner (introduced in libadwaita) has led to theming regressions, notably in Ubuntu's Yaru theme. Unlike GtkSpinner, AdwSpinner uses custom paintable rendering, which does not respect existing icon-based spinner theming (e.g. process-working-symbolic from icon themes). Attempts to match the look of Yaru's spinner (as defined in [2]) are ineffective due to this shift. Even St.SpinnerContent (used in GNOME Shell) has adopted the same AdwSpinner-style animation logic. A PR is currently open here [1] theming the GtkSpinner icon but this was way before the release of AdwSpinner. Currently the spinners in cursor theme is the only one clear from this problem. Expected Behavior: Spinner visuals should follow the theme’s styling (as with GtkSpinner), respecting custom icons or CSS definitions. Actual Behavior: AdwSpinner ignores theme-defined visuals and uses hardcoded paintable rendering instead. St.SpinnerContent uses clutter to draw the spinner as well.
