loading_icon
A loading icon, also called a throbber, is an animated graphic meant to show that a computer is performing some task in the background. The most general type takes the form of a spinning wheel, usually a series of lines or dots arranged in a circle which light up in sequence. Some OS-specific types include macOS's spinning pinwheel and Windows' blue circle and rotating hourglass.
