The System 7 Finder has 2 PICTs that are the blue and grey "candy stripes" 
used for the progress window.  To see these, I <HIGHLY> recommend making 
a copy of Finder and ResEdit the copy.  In System 7, resources can be
compressed to save disk space.  ResEdit will automatically uncompress
the resources but will not recompress them (maybe a feature for v3.0??).  
I don't know the PICT ids off hand, but they are easy to find.

I think the colors (blue and grey) map to black and white on monochrome (68000)
QuickDraw - check it out!

There are also some sources on America Online for Think C and Pascal that do
"thermometers".   The "candy stripes" are nice though because you do not have
to calculate the %time of the task your monitoring.
