Internet loading .gif customization?

Is there any way to change the windows 'flag' in the upper right corner of my internet browser? I thought I'd seen it done and if so I'd be grateful to anyone that could tell me how to do so. After the Hawkeyes' exciting win I'd like for it to look a something like this:

If you running XP you can set it via TweakUI, which can be found here: Link

I haven't actually tried this myself, so don't know if there's a limit on image size or what not.

Quite a few Windowblinds now come with a custom throbber as part of the skin.

In WindowBlinds you just need to make the custom Throbber image (as mentioned by coffeegrinder) which is easy enough to do. You need to make each frame of your animation and place them one on top of the other in a BMP file in the order you want them to appear. The throbber image sizes are 38 pixels wide for the large Throbber, 26 pixels wide for the medium Throbber and 22 pixels wide for the small Throbber. Image depth depends on the frame count of the animation.

Have a look at skins that feature Throbbers. That's the best way to see it in action
