How it works
- Choose show or close, add a title and a line of text, and set how far along it is from 0 to 1, or leave that empty when you can't tell.
- Steps of the same run with the same bar name update the one bar; give bars different names to show more than one.
- It sits at the bottom of the screen by default, or the top, and never takes focus or input.
- It closes itself when the run ends or after 10 minutes without updates.
- Like the banner, it doesn't draw over a protected game and is left out in quiet mode.
Routines that use it
Stream setup tracker
Show "Setting up the stream", update it after Open app, OBS: switch scene and Set Elgato light, then close it.
Batch file job
Inside For each over List files, update the bar's value as each file is moved.
Backup in progress
Show an unknown-length bar while Zip files runs, then close it and Show banner says it's done.

Good to know
- Goes away on its own after 10 minutes with no updates.
Questions
- Can I see how far a routine has got?
- Yes. Add Show progress at the start and update it between steps. The bar shows your text and how far along it is.
- Does it work if I don't know how long it'll take?
- Yes. Leave the value empty and it shows as an ongoing bar without a percentage.
