Issue Summary
We need to have a spinner "progress" indicator (which should just be something that spins, as it's not true percentage complete, just a spinner telling us the upload is in progress). Then a checkbox or something to display when the upload is complete. Something similar to how YouTube does it. (I can attach screenshots of that if someone needs.)
Thanks,
Aaron

Hi,
Here are some preliminary mockup examples, I made them 64x64, using inkscape for the images, and gimp for the gif animation.
They are all rounded, but hey, we have to start somewhere, not sure what you had in mind. Input is very welcome!

These are great! I think we should offer them all as administrative options (and allow new spinners to be uploaded as well).
We'll also need a visual indicator that the upload is complete, such as a checkbox (ideally fitting in the same footprint as the others), if you or someone wants to take that on too.
Thanks for the great work, Manuel!

OK, I got in a checkmark just so we can close this issue. Please, someone, help come up with better images!!! :P

we need to revisit this.

We have loading.gif in images/ (stolen from overlay). We should use throbber.gif (in /misc) for normal ajax and ahah operations, with loading.gif when we're loading something larger (like a tab pane).
In the interest of not keeping very general issues around, I'm closing this issue for now. Let's open up issues when we have places we think needs a throbber that doesn't have them and specify them there.
