This is incredibly useful in systems where people are used to see slow and frozen progress bars. (This is just an observation. No offence meant to anyone.) | |

| Mar 8, 2012 at 22:34 | comment | added | Jake Berger | This is a GREAT UX question. If I ever make a progress bar, it will have this feature. | |
| Mar 8, 2012 at 22:30 | comment | added | Jake Berger | @MFrank2012: the animation inside the progress bar goes right to left. (The blue color gradient changes.) | |
| Mar 8, 2012 at 20:38 | comment | added | Mervin | You mean from left to right ? | |
