Very nice, it's actually how background processing notification should look in web applications.

With a PNG and sprite animation it could be really pretty.

Yah though of using a APNG for animation, but it's just not widely supported enough right now.

It's in my to-do list for sure.

Yes, that's too bad... The prospects aren't good either, it seems that Webkit won't support it anytime soon and who knows about IE.

Good to know :)
