Unhappy temporary windows-user needs mac-help

I'm temporarily working on a windows pc, but I'd need a screenshot of a mac OSX component, namely the small spinning beachball-cursor.

It would be very great (!) if someone with the proper hard- and software could capture the image for me and put it into the thread.

Thanks alot! --vivio!

Interesting!
I don't think it will be possible. AFAIK most (just to avoid saying 'all') of the tools taking screenshots will hide the mouse-cursor.
Let's see if someone is able to catch a shot of it.

Btw, welcome to the forum!

Usually, if you see the beach ball, it is because something is causing your system to lag. It may be possible to take a screenshot with it (because you'd need to shoot the whole screen to get the cursor), like if you hover the mouse over a nonresponsive application, but an easier way is to look through the PNG files in the System folder for the appropriate icons, or use a theme-building program like Themepark to retrieve the image.

Or get Tsiz's screenshot.
