Progress indicator expressed in task button #110

Windows 7+ has a really nice feature where apps presenting a progress indicator is represented with a progress indicator behind the text on the task button. Is there such APIs available to duplicate this functionality? It's super handy; copying large files, downloads in browsers, music apps show song position, Visual Studio shows project compiling progress... It would be super awesome if bash processes with a sense of progress reflected on the taskbar (make, apt-get, etc), but I'm sure there's no api available to hook this information?

Alright this is a great idea, I shall see if I can tap into that. I think I would like to get this released first.

Sure, no problem! Just thought I'd note some features I've really missed since you seemed to appear from the shadows ;)

Yeah np keep them coming. I do that about once a year it seems :)
