animated icons

Has anyone had any experience with using animated icons for push buttons ? I'm looking into methods of informing the user that the process is continuing (during for example a heavy query on the net). I've tried to created my own "animated" icons for push buttons (in fact 4 different icons being selected by the when-timer-expired trigger) but I get a problem with SQL*Net hogging the session until the fetch is complete and the when-timer-expired trigger is not fired.

Also has anyone managed to change their cursor to the egg timer ? I'd also be interested in finding out how this is done.

Ideas and experience would be very much appreciated.
