A Dynamic Action Plug-in that replaces the default APEX spinner with your custom HTML/ CSS

APEX Utils - Change Spinner

Demo: https://www.apexutils.com

About

Use this simple dynamic action Plug-in to replace the default APEX spinner shown while a report refreshes, on page submission, or wherever apex.util.showSpinner is called.

You should run this DA on page load. Every spinner shown from then on will use the new markup.

Attributes

Attribute#	Name	Type

2	Spinner CSS	Textarea

Chances are you won't design the spinner yourself, so here are some great resources for free, awesome looking spinners. They are already split into HTML and CSS so all you have to do is copy/paste.

• Spinkit
• Load Awesome
• Loading.io Spinners
• Luke Haas Spinners

Under the hood

Unfortunately the default markup for the spinner is hardcoded in the apex.util.showSpinner function as opposed to it being passed down by the caller. I found the best way to change it is to override the function completely, this time using the custom HTML. The CSS is simply appended to the document.

Default Spinner disappeared after creating Page Load DA in Global Page

I created a DA on Global Page load and used HTML & CSS from Custom Spinner2 in your app.
Now I don't see default spinner when page process is working. I haven't written any code to call apex.util.showSpinner

Question about adding to pages

Not an issue, a question.
We have an application with hundreds of pages.
Would I need to add this manually as a DA on every page?
I have succesfully added this spinner to a page, and hoped that I could do the same on page 0 (Global). It did not have any effect on page 0.

Debug error ERR-1002 Unable to find item ID for item "G_APEX_UTILS_APEX_NITRO_IMAGES" in application "12345"

Tried out your plugin and it looks cool and is working but I noticed the Apex debug log is throwing this error everytime the page loads.
ERR-1002 Unable to find item ID for item "G_APEX_UTILS_APEX_NITRO_IMAGES" in application "12345"

Any idea why that error is showing up all the time in the Apex Debug log?
