Description Fernando M. Muniz 2025-07-13 19:43:55 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use Breeze Light or Breeze dark.
2. Do something that loads.
3. Look at the cursor.

OBSERVED RESULT
The cursor's "loading circle" is cool. But I wish there was an alternative.

EXPECTED RESULT
Seeing a Newton's Cradle transfer its kinetic energy to the other side is more visually satisfying than the "loading circle".

Lets play with ideas with third party themes, if it gets popular then we can discuss it.
