update: another small issue -- when the busy glyph is displayed, it appears on the left not on the right and it shifts the widgets down rather than overlaying them.

I'll look into it. BTW: why should the busy spinner display on the right ? Also, overlaying them wasn't always possible

It used to display on the right -- I think that is more aesthetically pleasing as well. It may not have been an overlay -- rather above the widets. However, it did not cause the widgets to drop in position.

I second that. For example when you use horizontal menu and the next episode widget in Poster mode, the Poster will overlay a part of the horizontal menu when the busy spinner is shown after watching an episode, when the widget gets updated. That really looks ugly and not as intended. I don't really care if the spinner is shown on the left or right.

Update:
Regarding the widget title been shown now. I like it. Maybe you can make it optional to show it, if others don't like it.

Thanks for your hard work, Marcel.
