Ok, seems like there are opinions in both directions - big surprise :) I for one was a bit offended when the pulsing icon appeared. Activities were taking 30 seconds to launch on XO and it seemed wrong to blow a bunch of CPU time on animation when the poor machine was obviously overtaxed! But, I guess the lesson is "Bling given, cannot be taken away", which makes sense. The close button is already posted as a separate patch: http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1447 (That's why I was in the code) I'm going to shelve the dots for now, but if someone from design wants to take it over and produce an official spec I'd be happy to implement that. Best, Wade PS- Eben, I didn't realize it, but I think I was actually arguing against the progress bar! Never really liked those things; always halting at weird places, and never accurate. _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
