Looking at Transmission-Qt's progress bar all I can say is: ugly.
With the default colors and style it looks exactly like the download bar, so at first I was puzzled, then I realized the bar was decreasing instead of increasing.
With modified colors it looks a little better since seeding looks different than downloading, but still ugly.
I know, its only my opinion, also that the previous version looked better. And the subject has been commented before Share ratio progress bar indication counter-intuitive, but wasn't that ticket about a bug on the GTK+ application that made the bar go right to left... which the current decreasing bar is doing.

rb07: what Qt theme are you using? Are you talking about the way it looks now on Windows?
Could you attach a screenshot so that I can see what you're seeing?

Hi Jordan,
Additonally I modified the application so that the progress bar background goes to green when it is seeding. Windows XP style is unaffected by this change.
Windows XP, default settings :
Same with Qt style cleanlooks :
A note: Qt's style plastique does show part of the background below the bar (a 1 pixel line), it looks a lot like the sample posted in the track ticket (but it's impossible to take a screenshot because some colors change depending on the selection, which is lost when taking the screenshot). For instance, with focus on the application both bars are blue, when I take a screenshot one bar goes gray:

Sure, testing one torrent downloading + one seeding.Jordan wrote:Could you attach a screenshot so that I can see what you're seeing?

Contrast that 2nd image with this:
Here I modified TrQt to always use the same bar behavior (anchored on the left, growing left to right) with different colors for downloading and seeding -- both example torrents are about 25% done. Which is the way the Web client behaves (i.e. no shrinking bars).
The 3-D effect, which is native on Mac (and Tr-Qt is probably using in Mac OS X) and the Web client sort of simulates is easy to implement for Linux/Windows. I could say "this exercise is left for the reader", but I'll try to add it when I find some more free time.

That would be a good patch.
