Description Björn Feber 2019-06-23 15:53:13 UTC 
SUMMARY
The default bouncy application launch feedback cursor looks unprofessional and it would look much nicer if it was just the app icon (static) with a spinner around it.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start an application with the default application startup feedback configuration
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2019-06-24 11:34:32 UTC 
Agreed.

What's so unprofessional about it?
Comment 3 Martin Flöser 2019-06-24 13:33:35 UTC 
The bouncy cursor is rather old and kind of a symbol for the kde desktop. I don't know when it got introduced, but was definitely already present in 3.x. That's kind of a reason to keep it as it is.

On the other hand a breeze-ification would probably not hurt if the bouncy is still available.
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2019-06-24 13:36:18 UTC 
+1, I'm fine with it remaining an option. Some people do like the bouncy icons. :)
