it\'s nice, but i changed something to make it nicer (at least to my taste): i added the +d switch on the window, and am now drawing this: { drawline -r @Loading $rgb(%i,$calc(255 - %i),0) 2 $calc(0 + %i) 0 $calc(0 + %i) 20 | drawtext -r @Loading $rgb(255,255,255) Verdana 9 110 2 Loading! } but anyway, nice work!
