The transparent GIFs I've created look really bad on some backgrounds. Looking at two of my favorite themes around the bPhone and Verizon Zen theme I notice that their hourglass animations also have background color (i.e. not transparent) so it isn't all too uncommon. I'm going to toy with other hourglass icons and see what I can come up with because I too think it needs improving. But I don't think I'll be able to pull off a transparent version of the existing hourglass animation...
my hourglass is very similar to yours and is transparent...i can send you the image if you'd like...here's my hourglass: http://www.blackberryforums.com/medi...me-8300-a.html
