It works fine for me too. But since I've got an Alienware Area 51 PC I never
see the hourglass anyway ;). I'm suggesting a setting that when enabled would
enable a "Please Wait" screen-saver while the application is loading, and
disappear when the application is loaded. It's not something I'd ever use,
but it would be a solution for many administrators out there with a computer
illiterate user base.
I think one of the key hurdles for GUI development is the notion that
whatever is built has to work for everyone. This is a problem. In my opinion,
a GUI should be completed themed, and a given theme could change virtually
everything about the user interface along with certain system preferences. In
this manner you could offer a Novice theme, a Professional theme, a Carpenter
theme, a Doctor theme, etc. Simply changing the color of the button is a
great start, but more needs to be done.
