Anyone know where I can get a copy of OSX's "rotating progress wheel" to overlay onto another image. (The small, circularly-fading one that appears on your Desktop when you Shutdown, etc.)

It could be somewhere in the OSX system itself, but I can't find it.

Thanks,
BD

hold your cursor over a white background, take a bunch of screen snap shots and dust off photoshop

Nope thats not what BoulderDash is looking for

Download and install mightymouse from unsanity, download http://www.resexcellence.com/cursors...ggraywheel.sit

Then extract the images.

Alternatively, open Interface Builder (part of the dev tools), place a spining progress bar on a white view and use snapz pro to record it.

Ah, Mighty Mouse... I'll use that next time. What I did now was to use Snapz Pro X to capture the wheel from Mail (against its white background) and blend it onto my image with Photoshop. Here are the results:

Thanks for the help!
