        trail: 60, // Afterglow percentage
        shadow: false, // Whether to render a shadow
        hwaccel: false, // Whether to use hardware acceleration

        top: 'auto', // Top position relative to parent in px

    };

abilitare spinner:
    var target = document.getElementById('id_dello_spinner');
    var spinner = new Spinner(spinner_opts).spin(target);  -> lo fa partire con le impostazioni
    spinner.stop();  ->ferma lo spinner
