The gnome progress bar is the visual method used to display activity. I usually think of the progress bar displayed during a large file copy. Impression progress bars follow the same design as the scroll bars; a flat bar in a hallow trough. Generally they are thin but the width may increase in the event progress metrics are displayed.

The progress bar also offers an opportunity to add color to the presentation. In the case of Impression the progress bar is displayed in orange, Night Impression dark aubergine. Other options such as candy striping are absent.
