[jira] Updated: (COUCHDB-984) Animated spinner icon has glitch

["Nathan Vander Wilt (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-984?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Nathan Vander Wilt updated COUCHDB-984:
---------------------------------------

    Attachment: spinner33-main_page.gif
                spinner6b-upload_dialog.gif
                spinner55-compromise.gif

I'm uploading three files:
spinner33-main_page.gif is matched to the main page top bar color.
spinner6b-upload_dialog.gif is matched to the #6B6B6B bar in the upload dialog (its color is #666 but also 50% transparent).
spinner55-compromise.gif has been exported on a #555555 matte, and looks average in both dialogs.

Ideally each page would use the "right" GIF, but you could also just replace images/spinner.gif with spinner55-compromise.gif for an okayish presentation (it will look fuzzy in the main page and have a slight dark fringe in the upload dialog).

For future reference: What I did was add an "invert" filter layer to the Panic PSD to make it whiter instead of blacker, and then set the matte color in the Save for Web dialog.

> Futon's progress spinner icon found in /share/couchdb/www/image/spinner.gif (used when uploading files and perhaps elsewhere) suffers from the glitch described at http://www.panic.com/blog/2010/10/spinner-rage/, where the fifth frame of the animation flashes more darkly than the others.
> The Panic post on this issue provides a fixed version of the spinner, but it is a Photoshop file:

> This simply needs to be re-exported by someone with a copy of Adobe's software. (I have a LazyTwitter out on this, otherwise next week I can pester the designers at work for a favor.)
