With the advent of the 64bit ARM Macs (and the recent blessings of OS Dark Mode), ProgressBarAE is a new 64bit ARM and Intel ‘Progress Bar’ App written in XOJO with an AppleScript dictionary that handles all the same Apple Events as in Bruce’s BP Progress Bar. ProgressBarAE also works in both light and dark mode depending on the OS setting.
In addition you can hide and show the progress bar window as well as reset its contents on the fly.
Apple Events handled:
Window Title,
Barberpole start (start indeterminate mode)
Barberpole stop (stop indeterminate mode)
Progress Bar Title
Progress Bar Subtitle
Change Icon
Max Value
Increase (Value)
Hide (Window)
Show (Window)
Reset (Dialog)
Set Width (of Window)
