i am trying to increase the progress bar/loading bar frames that shows during startup,
theres currently 8 frames named 'indicator_update.png'
but i want 16 frames.

is there a config file anywhere that i can edit to increase the amount of frames?

also i found a file called 'hildon-startup-progress'
in the folders: /usr/bin/

theres a line in this file showing:
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/indicator_update1.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/indicator_update%d.png

can i change '%d' to '16' or will this brick me if i edit it and startup fails ?

and what does '%d' actually mean ?

%d is the standard C printf syntax (though used in various other places as well) to indicate that a digit will be substituted into the text there. Replacing this with a fixed number will probably just result in it using the same image for all 8 frames.
