Re: [libreoffice-users] Changing The Mouse Cursor to an HourGlass

Hi :)
I think Progress bar and Loading bar are the same thing
http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=loading+bar&hl=en&client=ubuntu&hs=7F5&channel=fs&gl=uk&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=AnhMUYivOcLoOpfWgdAG&ved=0CDgQsAQ&biw=1024&bih=568&sei=EXhMUcKWIIOrOry8gLAD

Errr, i don't know how to show either but then i had no idea about getting the mouse arrow to 
change shape either.  

The idea is to show that it's just the 1 app that is busy doing something but that people are free 
to try usign other apps/games while they are waiting?  
Regards from
Tom :)
