New throbber on Kate icon

This is about the throbber which appears on top or next to an icon when you
clicked it, and the action it performs needs some time to complete.
For example, clicking an application launcher in the plasma panel, or
connecting to a network in the Networks widget.

The previous throbber was a circle line that faded rotationally.
The new throbber is an 8-teeth gear outline, which looks like the KDE logo.
But it is hard to see.
It barely changes its appearance while rotating, because it repeats 8 times
rotationally, and the teeth are too small.
It is also slightly smaller than the previous one, so it does not rotate around
most icons, but within them.
Because most application icons are blue too, it is even harder to see.
