It’s notning but my mind. Yet “left to right” choice seems better, because it’s like a “pushing ahead wave”, and I like it.

I know, it’s all in my mind.

Despite I would rather “left to right”, i realised that, in a way, “right to left” make the progressbar advance, even it’s remaining at the same place. But such effect is better rendered in Panther, Your given animation can’t make me feel the same way.

Ok, ok, I go to a psychoanalyst cabinet…

Just a message to congratulate you Richard, I just tested the new clearlooks-cairo and it fits really great with Gnome, really you made a great work, thanks a lot.

Just a question about the metacity mockup : will it be changed ? because now, it seems very under the level of the clearlooks gtk theme.
Thanks for your answer, and overall, thanks for your work.

i like right to left because i think its funny that the progressbar goes from left to right but the animation from right to left

Jj: But would those CPU cycles have been used, anyway? Whenever I see a progressbar, it’s because I’m waiting on something that’s not CPU-bound — CPUs are really fast! Progressbars I regularly see: downloads (network-bound), burning discs (optical drive bound), copying files (hard disk bound). The only times I’m CPU-bound are when I’m doing fullscreen graphics (OpenGL programs), and in those cases, they don’t use Gtk+ progressbars at all.

I like right to left. It looks more natural to me. I expect it will be possible to toggle animations on/off…?

animate direction should refer to the direction of the progress bar grow, just like which in the TheWidgetFactory (the default?).

RTL! It`s more dynamic.

Left to right for sure. It gives the illusion that the empty space on the right is being filled by the animation.

I voted for no animation, since im really resource cheap
I dont want to waste cpu cicles animating a progessbar, when there is something more important behind
