ok,
i have a main window with some buttons in it. some of these buttons cause some processing that takes a considerable indeterminate time. i would like to display an NSProgressIndicator in the bottom right hand corner of the main window to indicate that one of these long operations is being performed. when no activity is being performed, i would like the progress indicator to be less eye catching. it could be greyed out (as per my question) or it could disappear all together. i can't work out how to do either of these easily.
incidentally, the processing happens asynchronously in a subthread and is interruptable, so the automatic polychrome wheel of the appkit can never appear (and is unsuitable).
