That is really a good point. The more I use it, the more I realize<br>
this is absolutely essential. But how ? :). What could serve as a good<br>
indication?<br>

1. Different colors on the border surrounding the pane (but this competes with the red/blue indicating which pane is "Active")<br>
2. An LED-like glyph in the pane's title bar?<br>
3. A small overlay in one corner of the pane? (Ken's favorite: a pie chart showing either time remaining before a still render or time spent waiting for a still render to finish. :-)<br><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#888888"><br>

I just got a chance to try out the new feature that pauses for 2 seconds<br>
between the last interactive render and the still render to give you a<br>
chance to make further movements<br>
(<a href="http://paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=10232" target="_blank">http://paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=10232</a>). Totally cool.<br>
<br>
One thing I noticed though is that there is no indication of an intentional<br>
pause. Is there a subtle way to let the user know when the interface is<br>
pausing and when it is busy rendering? Or is it fine the way it is?<br>
