Hey All,
     I am a bit ambitious and going to try and make a WPS based on the Lord of the Rings.  Never tried one of these before, so it might take some time.  My idea was for the progress bar to be aligned in an arch, (Mines of Moria entrance) and have the degree of illumination around it signify how far it is.  It would start at the bottom left, go up and over the arch, and back down on the right.  Has anyone tried anything like this, or have any experience with something like this?  I checked out the WPS How-To wiki page, and it didnt seem to have anything.  Looking for any advice, pointers, how-to's, etc.  Thanks.

i do not know how to make a progress bar like you are explaining, but im 75% sure it can be done, i saw a wps that used a pulse to show progress, you could try looking around the wps gallery to see if it is possible

iPodFoo:
As far as I know, the "progress" is just from left to right.

Might be a cool idea to have the progress bar be done like how a volume graphics are done. Over time, the image changes. Maybe something to ask in feature requests.  ;D

Hweb21:
yes this can work, just have an image like this(Just made this and a wps to test this in just a few minutes)


test tag lines

%X|bground.bmp|
%P|pbar.bmp|

Yotto:
Note, that trick will work (to great effect in some cases) but the progress bar is still just going left-right filling in.  You can't make it do a curley-q or anything like that, or get brighter over time.
