Is it just me, or does the "progress bar" (that actually doesn't show a % progress -- it's a mystery) create optical illusions (and especially when it's animated)? It kind of makes me dizzy to look at.
Its just an activity bar, because the total time it will take is probably not known until it completes. I agree it could be made a bit more pleasing to look at. 😉
Isn't the standard approach for an unknown wait to fill half the remaining bar every second? That first gives the impression "It won't take long", then "It's nearly finished", before the user has a chance to think "I've been sitting here for 3 hours now".
GregS: No, the recommendation these days is that if you don't know, don't make any claims one way or the other (i.e. by giving an "i'm still alive" bar that doesn't show progress) and provide a cancel button if possible. Sometimes that's not possible or not recommended (as is often the case with installers where backing out the change could take as long or longer as finishing the change), but that's the goal.
