I20040310 The visual design of the progress item in the status line is sub-optimal on Mac. - the yellow color is hardly recoginzable, but it still looks different than the striped background color (see first screenshot; please note due to different Gamma value on Mac and Window there might be no visual diffrence at all; the second screenshot uses a different Gamma to Mac the difference more visible). - there is no border between the progress item and the status line - the font is too big. Many messages are crippled in funny ways.
Created attachment 8519 [details] progress indicator in status line
Created attachment 8520 [details] same shot, corrected Gamma value
The yellow colour has been removed and a seperator added between progress and the status line. We take the font from the OS - is it different from the status line font on the Mac?
If we introduce a customizable system font on Mac OS X (as suggested in bug #56558) this problem would go away. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 56558 ***
