My WebUI app is looking mighty spiffy. However, whenever AIMMS takes an extra second or two, I see this blue busy spinner.

Alas, that is not in my color scheme.

How can I change either the color of the spinner or the .gif itself so that the spinner matches my look and feel?

Thanks!

Hey MathFour,

The busy icon is an gif located in C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\AIMMS\IFA\Aimms\4.67.5.0-x64-VS2017\WebUIDev\www\resources\images depending on which AIMMS version you are using.

The default for the AIMMS version I'm currently using is busy_610467c49e28b4e0fc620c1e8336555b.gif which is blue. To change this, I suggest you to download something in your system's color scheme and change the referenced gif in the css class below.

.theme-aimms .veil-msg {
opacity: 1;
height: 50px;
background: #f5f6fa url(../../resources/images/throbber_5e55c38….gif) no-repeat 25px;
text-align: left;
padding-left: 74px;
color: #505767;
}

Hi @MathFour ,

Please try the following style:

/* to change the color of the busy text */
.theme-aimms .veil-msg .msg-body {
color: red;
}

/* to change the loader image */
.theme-aimms .veil-msg{
background: grey url("../images/dotloader.gif") no-repeat 25px;
height: 150px; /* if you want to change the height of the busy bar. */
}

/* to change the color of the cancel button on the right */
.theme-aimms .tag-veil .veil-msg.state-busy .ui-button{
background:green;
}


the image needs to be in the /resources/css/images folder.

The current loading image is a 50x50 px image.

Do let me know if this helped.

Thanks.

Thanks @gabiservidone, however it doesn't work. I even tried changing the name of my gif to the name of the blue one, but it still picks up a runtime gif somehow.

Other ideas?
