There is no "core implementation". The pyjs website is just an example application _using_ pyjamas. > font size, text color, etc).

Hmm... As an alternative to the "cycling dots" we could try to imitate the 80ies on the Unix console and implement a "cycling bar" (-,\,|,/,-,\,|,...)---Come on, we're in the 21st century! > So, I vote for a text based "Loading..." widget that cycles through dots. And I vote for a text-based Pyjamas logo. *nirg* What's wrong with using the right sort of media in an appropriate context? It's not flash. And, why do something using JavaScript when Pyjamas (bootstrap.js) is not loaded yet? I'm okay with that kind of strategy for the Pyjamas RIA framework. The spinner here is something that comes before the framework becomes ative. BTW, sorry for my ignorance: Is there such a beast in GWT that provides spinners or something for parts that take time being computed/rendered? Apart from the ugly progress bar I know from Gmail. Probably nothing integrated into the framework to improve the framework's usability. Peter
