I thought I said you must use the StatusBar, looking back on my post I didn't. I'm sure alhammer knows he'd have to use the StatusBar hehe.

They could get a couple of ideas from this, this is a something IHere's some code I've just wrote off the fly, it's untested.
On *:Start: {
dll hOS.dll AddStatusBar noxptheme sizegrip
dll hOS.dll SBSetPanels 300 -1
dll hOS.dll AddProgressBar 1 noxptheme
dll hOS.dll PBSetColors 1 $rgb(0,252,0) $rgb(0,0,0)
test
}
alias test {
%lag = 0
while (%lag <= 100) {
.timer -m 1 $calc(100 * %lag) {
dll hOS.dll PBSetPos 1 %lag 0 100
}
inc %lag
}
}
Obviously it's just a progress bar for when the mIRC starts up, the background colour for the progress bar is black, and the positions in green ^K 09. It doesn't account for the lag, but they should have a rough idea of how to add positions.
