Feature request: Progress Bar

It would be cool to have a progression bar

Sure it would be cool, but implementing in a maintainable way isn't trivial.

If we could make a multicolor string for the label, we could use the characters as a progress bar, this approach would be both cool and maintainable.
Using extra widgets or adding a progress bar to the menu would break more often.

Whichever is easier for you my man

in case this helps, the closest thing to a progress bar I have seen around is in Dash-to-panel under the icons (see bar underneath the terminal icon):

Looking at the code, this makes use of svg files applied as background-image:
