Llorean:
I believe it should also work as a combined single strip image as well. If you need 100 steps, then yes, you need 100 subimages. But not every progress bar will be 100 pixels wide. For example, you can now also do a filling hourglass, or a circle that fills like a pie chart, or really anything you can come up with.

And what if I have 154 px progressbar? What if I have ipod video with huge screen?

Yes, I can, but if I need SLIDER progressbar, I don't need pie chart, hourglass or anything else.

Llorean:
You can still do it with strips and subimages, just fine. What's the problem? A solution was chosen that is VASTLY more flexible since it allows both what you want to display and several other things as well. I was merely illustrating the things that this method can do that a slider can't. This method can still also do a slider.

hakimio:
Progressbar won't be smooth and move pretty ugly (max percentage value, I guess, is 100, so you can't specify more than 100 arguments for %?px).

Llorean:
Have you actually tried it? A two pixel step will actually look fairly smooth. Pixels are quite small on the larger screens. It seems to me you're jumping to conclusions without doing any experimentation first. As it stands, this solution offers a lot more flexibility. Meanwhile the slider was previously in Rockbox some time ago, and removed.

Can you offer a justification good enough that it covers redundant code and binary waste, something much better than "it will look very slightly smoother" to convince whichever developers decided it should be removed to put it back?
