Ok.. i made myself unclear... was trying to show the progress bar of pacman while its running. I suggest having C..... for a progress bar rather than ###### and then have the C "eat the dots" so to speak. I realize that pacman stands for package management, but just as a novelty i think we should change the progress bar to C... Just to reflect the name similarity with the game. Not a functionality improvement, just a novelty. Does that make sense? If not, i can try to explain again. Thanks for your fast response, Tim --- Michael Baehr wrote:

this as probably been posted before but here's my idea:

Instead of current [################] 100% 38K 14.2K/s 00:00:02 extra [################] 100% 147K 14.8K/s 00:00:10

We should change pacman to Instead of current [C...............] 0% 38K 14.2K/s 00:00:02 Instead of current [ C........] 50% 38K 14.2K/s 00:00:02 current [ C...] 75% 147K 14.8K/s 00:00:10 Current [ C] 100% 147K 14.8K/s 00:00:10

Just to reflect the name.

I'm afraid I don't quite understand what you're getting at. Could you explain a little more?

Ok... and yeah asterisks are better :) Ya gotta take care of him and feed him what he likes. --- Michael Baehr wrote:

Because certain things sync so quickly, it's better if our pacman buddy leaves a trail. And I find that he prefers eating asterisks to dots.
