Title:
StSpinnerContent cannot be themed; must patch source to match Yaru's
spinner design
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
Ubuntu version:
Ubuntu 25.04 code name Plucky.
package: gnome-shell
installed version: 48.0-1ubuntu1
The recent migration gnome shell SpinnerContent from the use themed
icons has led to theming regressions, notably in Ubuntu's Yaru theme.
Unlike the old implementation, the new SpinnerContent uses cairo to
draw the spinner, 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 GtkSpinner (used in old gnome
core app build) has been changed to AdwSpinner.
A PR is currently open here [1] theming the GtkSpinner and
SpinnerContent icon but this was way before the release of AdwSpinner
and the changes in StSpinnerContent. Currently the spinners in cursor
theme is the only one clear from this problem.
Expected Behavior:
Spinner visuals should follow the theme’s styling, respecting custom look
Actual Behavior:
spinner ignores theme-defined visuals and uses cairo for rendering instead.
