Spinner.
A named loading state.
Spinner exposes one status label and hides its decorative mark. Reduced motion stops rotation. Remove the spinner when work finishes and avoid mounting decorative loading loops.

Built from the same foundations
Styling tokensChange Theme settings above to compare appearance, accent, neutral, radius, spacing density, motion and direction. Override component aliases on a Theme root so custom properties follow portaled content too. The wrapper merges className, style, refs and render composition with its owning primitive.
| Token | Purpose |
|---|---|
--dixy-color-background-surface | The component-specific starting point. |
--dixy-font-label-md | Control label font and line height; body roles remain readable in text inputs. |
--dixy-color-background-selected | Selected surfaces use semantic color across appearances. |
--dixy-color-border-focus | Focus indication remains visible independently of shadows. |
--dixy-spacing-inset-sm | Density-aware component padding. |
--dixy-motion-transition-feedback | Short state feedback, reduced by the inherited motion setting. |
Consider everyone
AccessibilityProvide visible labels and meaningful names. Preserve native semantics, selected/disabled state and visible focus. Target WCAG 2.2 AA; full contrast, assistive-technology and platform verification remains pending.
Target: WCAG 2.2 AA. Automated tests cover selected behavior; manual screen-reader, contrast, and zoom validation remain part of the release checklist.
