species of beachball
In MacOS I see two kinds of beachball: one of many hues, and one quartered in two shades of blue. Is there a semantic difference between them? —Tamfang (talk) 00:43, 10 May 2022 (UTC)


 * From what I can gather, the blue beachball is for web content just as JS that is being loaded. The rainbow is for any other application that doesn't respond for 2-4 seconds. WhoAteMyButter  ( 📨talk │ 📝contribs ) 02:29, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi, there are typically three types of beachball: 1) rainbow colors, 2) blue color, and 3) watch. In addition, to Spinning pinwheel page on Wiki this reference might give you a detailed explanation of your question. I hope this helps. :) Nanosci (talk) 21:47, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
