Why don't you do something like what Mail.app does for its progress indicators (simple circles that fill in pie-chart style)?


Because then I'd have to draw my own progress indicators and it would be a non standard control and in my opinion just as bad HIG wise as using the spinning indicators. I actually wanted to use Bar style progress indicators but they were using so much CPU they where causing significant performance issues.


The application runs a multi threaded, CPU intensive, long running task. This was a simple change in style and as Interface Builder left the indeterminate check box unchecked when I changed the style I saw nothing wrong with using them.

Insert a rant about Apple's lack of respect for the HIG and their custom controls clearly showing that they are aware that certain controls are not up to the job in hand.
