@Krishna no, it's not that good. The design has some serious flaws, which are just not there in a beamer
presentation. As I said, it blindly trusts the state of the page
counter. In a book, in which page numbering could change once or twice, this is a huge drawback. And it would need much more customization options to be a package, with different types of progress bars, not only two rules of different colour.
@Krishna also, it is included in an undistributed package of mine (my beamer
template I use in university, which is available for other students at the same institute if they so wish -- up till now I'm the only one who has ever used it, I guess)
