Comment(by garycmartin):

 Currently this is a light yellow rounded rect background with grey text
 "Loading..." and a small timer graphic to its left. Seems like a low
 priority to theme as it's very unobtrusive just now.

 We don't really have any equivalent else where in Sugar, perhaps we should
 as a general replacement solution for cursor busy timers when using touch.
 Pretty much any thing I can think of just now seems like a user might see
 it as a clickable/touchable button, if it's on screen for more than 1sec
 (e.g. grey rounded rect with white text and timer icon). Perhaps we should
 standardise on an icon only, no text, to minimise localisation. We do have
 a busy cursor pointer that would seem to be a good fit (solid round with
 an arrow arc part way around the circumference), though I think this one
 would need to animate a little not to look like a 'reload button'. We
 would need a design iteration or two on a standard graphic before landing,
 to be honest. A standard busy icon (ideally one that doesn't need to be
 animated) would also work well for the Paint fill case, and perhaps other
 Activities (Calculate can be made to do some long calculations that have
 quite some delay).
