** Description changed:

  Ubuntu version:
  Ubuntu 25.04 code name Plucky.
  
  package: libadwaita-1-0
  installed: 1.7.0-1ubuntu2
  
  The recent migration of GNOME core applications from GtkSpinner to
  AdwSpinner (introduced in libadwaita) has led to theming regressions,
  notably in Ubuntu's Yaru theme. Unlike GtkSpinner, AdwSpinner uses
  custom paintable rendering, 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 St.SpinnerContent (used in GNOME
  Shell) has adopted the same AdwSpinner-style animation logic.
  
  A PR is currently open here [1] theming the GtkSpinner icon but this was
  way before the release of AdwSpinner. Currently the spinners in cursor
  theme is the only one clear from this problem.
  
  Expected Behavior:
- Spinner visuals should follow the theme’s styling (as with GtkSpinner), 
respecting custom icons or CSS definitions.
+ Spinner visuals should follow the theme’s styling (as with GtkSpinner), 
respecting custom look
  
  Actual Behavior:
  AdwSpinner ignores theme-defined visuals and uses hardcoded paintable 
rendering instead. St.SpinnerContent uses cairo to draw the spinner on the 
otherhand.
