AJAX Loader Image Generator

For my search box above, I wanted to have some kind of animation for when the live search has begun. There was an image already with the theme, but, it wasn’t transparent enough; it showed white around the edges. That doesn’t look good on blue.

Since I love those AJAX loader animations, I thought I would search for some that might be more transparent. The first search resulted in a generator that creates exactly what I wanted! And, I can choose from several loaders! It was such a hard decision between a couple of them, but I went with the more common one, also because it’s smaller.

If you want to see the one I chose and how good it looks, just try searching above. Type some words and hit enter.

Go create your own AJAX loader image!
