Going by that design document for the Throbber, wouldn't it be smaller in size to do the Chrome logo with flashing colours (in a circle as suggested, like the old Simon Says games)? This idea would only take 4 frames, 8 if you wanted to do a tiny fade between lights, whereas the current one is at 36, if i counted them right.
If i could, i'd do a simple version of it right now, but i can't, don't have the software at the moment. Anyone up to making one?
