Hi Marco,

I'm not sure which is the Tango throbber you're referring to...

It doesn't really matter though in the context of this discussion: I
probably didn't make this clear enough in my previous reply to you, but the
reason this changed in GTK is purely technical. In order to support CSS
transitions and animations properly inside the toolkit, the old animation
framework previously used by GtkSpinner had to be removed.
This left us with the ability to specify the spinner animation only using
CSS, and that style you see now was agreed with the Design Team to be the
best compromise while the next step is implemented - if you want your
spinner to spin at all.

I don't know the history behind the current default cursor theme, but I
believe you should be able to customize your cursor theme just fine using
gsettings or gnome-tweak-tool.
