Color only spinner

[Abdur-rahmaanJ]

Greetings, thanks for keeping the discussion section open.

I have

with console.status("[green]"+text, spinner="dots"):

This also colors the spinner. How can I specify the color of the spinner separately? I cannot see the option in help

status(status: Union[rich.console.ConsoleRenderable, rich.console.RichCast, str], *, spinner: str = 'dots', spinner_style: str = 'status.spinner', speed: float = 1.0, refresh_per_second: float = 12.5) -> 'Status' method of rich.console.Console instance
    Display a status and spinner.
    
    Args:
        status (RenderableType): A status renderable (str or Text typically).
        spinner (str, optional): Name of spinner animation (see python -m rich.spinner). Defaults to "dots".
        spinner_style (StyleType, optional): Style of spinner. Defaults to "status.spinner".
        speed (float, optional): Speed factor for spinner animation. Defaults to 1.0.
        refresh_per_second (float, optional): Number of refreshes per second. Defaults to 12.5.
    
    Returns:
        Status: A Status object that may be used as a context manager.

Thanks!

Does spinner_style not work?

@willmcgugan "Defaults to "status.spinner"" is a very cryptic statement for me. And i could not find something in the docs ...

[Owlcept]

he was saying you can just pass the style you want to spinner_style it just defaults to a base color

This was a little unclear to me also, specifically you want to set spinner_style to the color you want, e.g:

with console.status("[green]"+text, spinner="dots", spinner_style="white"):
