Hi :) I think Progress bar and Loading bar are the same thing http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=loading+bar&hl=en&client=ubuntu&hs=7F5&channel=fs&gl=uk&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=AnhMUYivOcLoOpfWgdAG&ved=0CDgQsAQ&biw=1024&bih=568&sei=EXhMUcKWIIOrOry8gLAD
Errr, i don't know how to show either but then i had no idea about getting the mouse arrow to change shape either. The idea is to show that it's just the 1 app that is busy doing something but that people are free to try usign other apps/games while they are waiting?
