New progress bars

The newly implemented progress bar for the Remove Tool (remove after each stroke)  in the new PS 25.11 is horrible. Everytime you drag over to remove something you get this invasive and distracting progress bar box on the top center of the screen. Before, there was a small, simple spinning circles progress and only if the removal was complex, it would show a progress bar box.

I suggest using the almost useless and usually empty top options bar for all progress bars for different tools so they are not on top of your image.

Final Cut Pro already has something like that in a circle but in Photoshop the options bar is usually empty so it can easily be used for displaying information out of the image's frame.

Also time for something new in the adjustment boxes... After 34 years the windows in Photoshop are pretty much the same. Nothing has really changed and not too much innovation on the GUI...

I suggest a floating transparent popup for certain things like snapseed for iPhone where you can choose adjustments from a popup and then the progress would be on the options bar as well without being on top of your image...

i added a couple of screen shots and a small video to illustrate.
