REQUEST 

A simple request to implement a fifth option in the Cursor section in the Launch Feedback menu, wherein the cursor switches to the default Busy Cursor (cursor with spinner/hourglass) in the cursor pack, instead of having a bouncing/static/blinking icon appended to it.

REASONING

1. I think it looks much neater and more "professional"
2. It is the default behaviour on several other DEs and OSs.

If 103856 still applies, append the full-sized busy spinner/hourglass to the cursor.

A very good idea IMO. I think this could satisfy people who don't like the bouncing app icon, while still satisfying those who want some type of animated effect.

Yes! Please add this option and also please make it the default. In my opinion, this is more polished approach and feels more modern than the bouncing icon. Plus there is a great icon in the Breeze Icons set that can be for this and I made a video demonstrating it for those who are not aware of it. Here is the demo of the icon I'd like to see be used or maybe a variation of this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYSNixVdYDE
