Well, it's not implemented yet but then I don't honestly know what work has been submitted. For reference purposes I'll quote Richard's original post to the ubuntu-art list on this topic. I hope he doesn't mind but it might prove useful before we go further with this.

Hi guys and gals,

A few days ago Benjamin Otte (Company) sent me a nice patch for
ubuntulooks, which slightly changes the appearance of the progressbars
in Ubuntulooks.

The current progressbar renders squared (width=height) cells,
resulting in a partially rendered cell at the end of the bar when the
bar's width is not a multiply of a cell's width.

Benjamin's patch calculates a sensible width for each cell, so that
the bar contains only complete cells. The number of cells also varies
depending on the width. An example screenshot is located here:

My plan is to get this into edgy. I hope you guys like it.

Kind regards,
Richard Stellingwerff.
