Re: [Ayatana] progress window chrome

Hi Spike,

I'm familiar with that part of the HIG.
( http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/windows-progress.html.en )
It doesn't specify title bars, it says "window title". It also focuses on the content of the title, not on how thick the chrome should be..

I think this here is also interesting:

see: "What the HIG isn't" ;)

The indication of progress is receiving some attention in the design community, which is of essential importance imo.
There's nothing less appropriate than to keep a lady waiting with no notice..
