Holy wow that thing is ugly. wpspin_light.gif is significantly better, but a closer look also shows some funkiness going on at the pixel level. A quick replace of that instance in the widget area title, which is the only one I found in core, with the light version looks fine, though less contrast. Then we could delete the dark one outright. If somebody wants to make a better dark version, make sure that it matches the style of the light one or make both.

As far as I can tell wpspin_dark.gif is only used in one spot in widgets.php. Maybe we should just switch that one instance to wpspin_light.gif.

The contrast is a little lower, but it is so, so much better.

As far as I see this spinner only shows when rearranging widgets in the same sidebar (dragging them up or down). Frankly, not sure if it's needed at all.

Also, it looks like it's a left over from long ago, when the sidebars had dark headers (2.6 or 2.7). It's shown so seldom that seems nobody noticed it for years :)

Let's go ahead and replace it with the lighter version, and delete that awful dark one. 20957.2.diff​
