Suggestion: OmniWeb icon animation/status

  A suggestions for the OmniWeb app icon:

  It would be convenient if there was a preference for enabling the OmniWeb  
application icon to indicate the status of the browser -- whether it is  
downloading a page or not.  Since we have a slow net connection I end up  
fetching something in the browser, hiding it for a bit, and then periodically  
popping the browser window to the front to see if the page has downloaded yet.  
 If the app icon could optionally indicate that the browser was downloading,  
I wouldn't need to switch back and forth between apps, checking on the  
download status.  The full rotating globe animation seems a bit much for app  
icon animation -- maybe an alternate "connected" icon would be sufficient.

  This gets a little strange when OmniWeb gets multiple windows.  Perhaps the  
minituarized browser window could indicate download status in the event of  
multiple browser windows.

  Best regards,
