I wanted an alternate progress window for some of my scripts that didn't have progress points or involved waiting for some other process to run. So I came up with this UDF that displays a progress .gif and status text. It also allows you to display a transparency screen and progress bar if needed. I also made it customizable so you can create your own themes. I've found it very useful and thought I'd share it with the community. Enjoy! Busy.au3 #cs -------------------------------------------
