Public bug reported: 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 icons or CSS definitions. Actual Behavior: spinner ignores theme-defined visuals and uses cairo for rendering instead.
