Not that I know of, but it might be nice to have.

The colors indicate successive stages: finding the latest version, retrieving it, decompressing it and installing it. As it runs, it tries (not very well at the moment) to predict how long it's going to take and make it the progress wipe finish at the same time as the load (or publish). If it takes longer than the estimate, then the wipe repeats, this time a little darker.

Cheers,
Bob
