This is basically a special class for that progress spinner design. Which is now old. In HC the spinner looks different. If you try to hack on whatever spinner you happen to get from the platform you are running on to do something different, you will probably fail in one way or another as you encounter a different platform with a different spinner.
I can't imagine why you need to have it rotate in the other direction, but if you need something different you should just make your own spinner style that has nothing to do with whatever is in the platform.
