Hello Justin,

To add any element to the spinner, you can create a custom painter as described in the Overlay Form main article. The example provided there however completely disables the default painting mechanism. To avoid it, comment out the line where OverlayWindowCustomDrawContext.Handled is set to true. Let me know if you need additional assistance in this regard.
