Re: A simple GtkSpinner is very costly in CPU cycles

Hi Kian For effeciency, use one of the default cursors. https://developer.gnome.org/gdk3/stable/gdk3-Cursors.html If you want, you can try creating your own cursor with animation and using that. I got this working on my netbook which isn't a very high powered computer by todays

Re: A simple GtkSpinner is very costly in CPU cycles

Well the Gtk main loop can not break out, it means you can not play animation of the GtkSpinner as slow as you want. I'm sorry I had not used the GtkSpinner before, then I just did a test on the widget, so I see we only make it playing or stop animation by setting it's "active" property TRUE or

Re: A simple GtkSpinner is very costly in CPU cycles

Hi, I am not sure about playing animation of the spinner to cause the high cost. But you can try to have a callback from the g_timeout_add function for starting (gtk_spinner_start) and stopping (gtk_spinner_stop) the animation. On Tue, Mar 20, 2018, 21:07 Kian Karas

A simple GtkSpinner is very costly in CPU cycles

Hi smart people I just introduced animation, in the form of a GtkSpinner, to my application for the first time. When the spinner is animating, the application takes up 45 % of the CPU resources (the application is otherwise idle at 0-2,6 %). The CPU is a single core ARM Cortex-A7 running at 528
