Display the state of a process


  • Subject: Display the state of a process
  • From: Gil Dawson <email@hidden>

I'd like to display the current state of a very-long-running process somewhat
unobtrusively on the screen, while the user is doing other things.  The user
will look at this state only occasionally.  An alert would be too intrusive.

The state I wish to display is a number between zero and 7, and will change
only now and then.

A folder on the desktop, with one of the eight numbers displayed on the folder,
might be good.

Can one change the appearance of a folder using AppleScript?

Another idea?
