Uploading a new SQL into Power Query Progress wheel color

When you update your SQL script in the PowerQuery settings window and click OK. There is a white spinning wheel of dots on a very light grey button.  Many people have trouble seeing the difference in the color between the white dots an the light grey background.  In a previous version of PowerBI desktop the button used to be a darker color and the spinning dots were more visible.  I suggesting a change to one of the colors the button or the dots.

Hi @jhaeusl1  We cannot directly change the color of the spinning dots or the button in Power BI. You can submit a feature request to the Power BI Ideas forum for improved visibility or contrast. As a temporary workaround, try adjusting your display settings for better contrast.
