Re: [orca-list] Proposed patch for progress beeps

[Nolan Darilek <nolan thewordnerd info>]

You're missing my point.

Yes, I can run your attachment and hear what it sounds like, but it 
isn't the same as pegging the progress bar to 2 fixed frequencies of 
cultural significance throughout much of the world, whose frequencies 
many more users intuitively know and don't have to remember.

Put another way, were I designing a GUI toolkit, I could arbitrarily 
decide that progress bars are 563 pixels long. When users voice 
frustrations that they don't know how far along progress bars are, I 
could show them a 563-pixel-wide GIF and say "now you know." Or I could 
just draw borders on the progress bar and remove all doubt.
