Loading bars that are so complex that they
themselves require loading bars.
i.e. first loading bar is the standard
rectangle, it displays the status of the
second loading bar, say a fractal render. The
fractal loading bar displays the status of the
third loading bar, say a 3D render of
tree
beard from lord of the rings and so on ad
infinitum.

This has been unintentionally baked by a number of very poorly designed websites. |

//a 3D render of tree beard// |
|
| |
Do the statues of the second loading bar live on your desk? |
|
| |
//The patterns of fractal breakdown could be recorded for later use e.g. run once during testing and the customer sees one uniform speed progress bar.// |
|
| |
This idea is for several loading bars that do not progress at uniform speed. |
|
| |
I agree, I probably jumped the 3D render a little quick. I didnt want to type out the hundreds of loading bars that could potentially fall in between. |
|
| |
I might be misusing 'recursive'. I'm talking about several independant loading bars, each taking different form, with bar x's loading status being displayed by bar(x-1) which is of a different and less complex form. Prior to bar(x-1)'s display its status was displayed by an even less complex bar(x-2). |

i.e. useless application is opened: |
|
| |
bar 1 (a simple rectangle status bar) is displayed and quickly loads while the computer processes bar 2. |
|
| |
Bar 2 loads (a complex picture) while the computer processes bar 3. |
|
| |
Bar 3 loads (a realtime chaotic branching) while the computer processes bar 4... |

I tend to loose votes after i explain myself, so if you change your vote, please tell me what you thought this was so i can learn from your interpretation. thanks. |

I guess an easier way to put it is the computer renders increasingly complex images to use as the image background for the following loading bar. |
|
| |
Is iterative the word i'm looking for instead of recursive? |
|
| |
//i.e. useless application is opened// |
|
| |
Then compounded by endless useless loading bars. I'd rather waste my time on the halfbakery. [-] |

Doesn't the placement in ":unwanted
feature" negate it being something you
don't want as a reason to bone? |
|
| |
I'd bone the category if I could. You said it yourself: "Another bad Idea" |

Every time I look at this title I imagine looking in the back of a Mercedes Sprinter and seeing two 2" sprung loadbars mounted widthways, with smaller 1" loadbars mounted lengthways between the big ones. Between the 1" loadbars are 0.5" loadbars mounted widthways... |
