We shouldn’t need to use the 16px spinner anywhere anymore, it’s just 
too small to be properly visible. As all tappable elements should be at 
least 44*44px big (which means rows of the external storage should be 
44px high), a 16px spinner will be too small.

Also, let’s not put _too_ much work into optimizing for IE8, especially 
not adjusting the loading gif like that. There wasn’t even a loader before.
