Description
The DatePicker and indeterminate ProgressIndicator (at least) controls are now rendered with a non-transparent background with a gradient, giving them a Button-like appearance.

This is regression caused by the fix for RT-5747 (the addition of the Spinner control). See the attached screen shots for the good and bad style.

Raising the priority back to P2, since it is a very visible regression, there is no known workaround, and we have received many reports of duplicate bugs.

spinner can be overloaded as a name as long as we don't write css selectors that only select based on '.spinner' for anything other than the Spinner control. In other words, if we used (and I'm plucking this example out of the air, I haven't specifically looked at the existing css) '.progress-indicator .spinner', 'date-picker .spinner' and '.spinner', we could individually target all the instances separately. Jasper and / or Mo should probably be able to rectify this without the need for changing any style classes.

Interesting. Does this mean the name "spinner" is gone?

A quick grep of the sources reveals that only the two existing controls mentioned above, ProgressIndicator (with indeterminate progress) and DatePicker, use the name "spinner" in their styles. Given that the bug is limited to these two controls I am lowering it to P3 (but still must be fixed).

I think it is a naming collision. 1) ProgressIndicator sets its style class to "spinner" 2) DatePicker also uses the "spinner" name in its css

I can not see after a quick look in the new CSS why this would happen.

Reverting just the changes to modena.css makes the problem go away.
