Well, that's how the author of Clearlooks decided to refer to the "animated"
progress bar, as you can see in the gtkrc file :

"progressbarstyle = 0 # 0 = candy bar, 1 = flat"

As you can see, when you have a progress bar (for example when downloading files
from the internet, Synaptic or web browser or whatever), the progress bar is
"animated", there are little "stripes" accross it that make the progress bar
look like it's "moving". A long bar... with many regularly spaced stripes all
accross it... does inded remind one of a "candy bar", hence the name !! :o)))
Problem is that as I said, when I set this option to "1", it is supposed to get
rid of the candy bar and display a "normal"/flat (no animation, and no stripes)
progress bar..... but it doesn't work, candy bar won't go away :-/
