I kind of agree with Luca. when i tried tracker 0.6.4 from svn lately, i found the current tracker-applet extremele annoying already . The animation while indexing and changing to a ! all the time is really grabbing my eyes and distracting, especially for such a thing as an indexing service, which should be something that happens in the background and should just work so you can use it. i'm working on a mac at work atm and the animation the spotlight icon has is a lot less distracting as it only shows a very small smoothly animated dot when new stuff is indexed and this operation really takes some time like indexing a newly connected network drive. most of the time you don't get any animation at all, and as i said, even when the icon is animated, you hardly ever notice it unless you really look at the icon. btw, the tracker-applet uses only one fixed size png, which looks really bad compared to other status icons and applets which actually follow tango size guidelines. this should definately be fixed before a 0.6.4 release, imho. > Cheers, > Michael > greets, Björn
