icon request: loading spinner #365

Would be great to have an icon that can be used in conjunction with animations as a loading spinner (podio uses a spinner in their 'save' buttons).

Excellent project! Thank you!

You can use the also awesome http://fgnass.github.com/spin.js/ lib to programatically create a vector spinner

Thanks, that's a nice tool.

I like the 'inline-ness' of using a font, however; it works well when adding icons to buttons while not having to write any special case css. I'm a big fan of OOCSS.

What I've done for the moment, and which is an elegant solution for now, is to simply use .icon-refresh with a rotation animation on the button: http://larrybotha.github.com/styleguide/ (need some fixing in FF)

That's actually pretty nice ! I'll keep that in mind

Done in 3.0. Though I am quite partial to spin.js. The single color limitation of the font makes this pretty rough.
