I am wanting to use a loadin image over a pattern background. All of the loading .gif files that I can find are not a true transparent background, but have a bit of color that looks really bad on a transparent bg.
Does webworks provide any native loading image or does anyone have a solution to this?
.gif files do not have alpha channel possibility for transparent backgrounds. For loading icons/animations have a closer look to the Ajaxload.info website for some nice looking examples.

BTW: depending on the device you are developing for, have a closer look to the bbUI.js example for activity indicators. WebWorks as its own is mainly an adapter to the underlying WebView and OS to be able to access hardware (eg. GPS, ...), I can't remember on something for the look+feel to be directly integrated in WebWorks.

The ones on the Ajaxload.info website are still .gif files that don't have a "clean" transparency. They still have some background color that does not work over pattern backgrounds.
Oh, I was hoping for true transparency with alpha, but oh well, I think using a loading gif will be ok, since it is so small.
Thanks.
For the future I would give the CSS3 animations, I mentioned above, a change maybe with a fallback to your loading gif to have some nice effects for supported browsers/devices. To check animation support mozilla gave an explanation to detect CSS animations on there developer pages.
