Hello,
Since I upgraded to Mavericks, the Time machine icon in menu bar doesn't spin anymore when backing up...
I was wondering if there was a way to make it spin again like in mountain lion?
Thanks
:apple:

I don't think these is an easy way to do that. Anyway, the icon looks a little bit different when back up in progress.

It doesn’t spin any more. An Apple tech told me that the movement bothered "some people". Whatever.

However, if you look closely, you will see that when it’s backing up, there’s a small triangular dot that appears between the start and end of the circular arrow. It’s a very subtle indicator, but it’s better than a sharp stick in the eye, I suppose.
