On Startup, after the Grey Apple sign, theres no Aqua Blue Loading Bar??
I get the startup chime, the grey apple sign (with the round loading thing), then instead of an aqua Loading bar which is supposed to say "Loading Mac OS X", I get a Light Blue screen and then the Accounts I can log into?
It used to have the aqua loading bar but now it doesn't?
The OS works fine, but I just don't know why it stopped show this.
(I'm running Leopard)
Thanks!

I thought I saw it before, but maybe I didn't.
And yes, startup and login logout are way faster
Thanks!
No the waiting time got so tiny on modern systems, it wasn't necessary anymore.
Because now I just get a long pause with a blue screen, which kinda looks dumb.
I mean, It's apple they can do better.
I wish they used the bar instead of the spinning circle though. A circle gives you no feedback about loading progress and the bar looks so much nicer.
But the bar doesn't give you any actual feedback about loading progress either, it's just an animation and doesn't represent anything. I agree that it does look better though, fake or not.

I think it did give a little bit of feedback. If you play the animation in the Finder, it is a continuous animation but at startup, it jumps to certain points and shows text underneath at each stage e.g network initialization so it's as if they had steps that corresponded to various loading stages. It wouldn't be exact of course but it should give you an idea how far the loading steps have reached. A spinning circle has nothing at all.
