Custom color for a indeterminate <progress>-tag without a value

Question

I would like to style a so called 'indeterminate'-progressbar. (A <progress>-tag without a value)

  <progress max="100"></progress>

See that codepen I found on the net as an example (not mine):

http://codepen.io/anon/pen/mEWqer

The difference should be obvious. The Default bar without any style has movement in it. What I would like to do, style that indeterminate progressbar so that it keeps 'moving' like the above.

Any means of styling always result in a 'completly' filled bar, without the moving part.

Am I doing something wrong, is that expected or a bug? Since I am not very good with css, I am a bit at a loss here. The internet - as far as I found information - only talks about styling normal progressbars.

Edit: Now I am even more confused. It seems to work in Edge.. (the dots seem to be the default 'progressbar' for edge). So, a bug? See the attached image from edge.

Edit 2: All of the proposed answers are for a determinate progressbar. Looking at the codepen I provided (the 'Default'-bar), it should be clear that I mean an indeterminate progressbar.

Answer 1

Seems like a bug to me... When you try to apply some styles on it, Chrome seems to define the progress bar like defined, whenever it exists a value inside your tag or not. I tried with Chrome Canary too, but same thing append.

It could be a good idea to think, "go to hell you moving item, I will erase you with my own style". But apparently,

Animations don't seem to work anymore on the pseudo elements within a progress element, in Blink. At the time this was published, they did. Brian LePore reported this to me and pointed me toward this thread discussing it and created a reduced test case.

-

Maybe it's the same with the that @keyframes defined outside of the Shadow DOM can't get accessed by an element inside. From the timing it might have changed in Chromium 39/40?

So I tried but yes, animations does not work anymore...

Well, dunno if this is what are you looking up but check it out, with this custom progress bar you can style it and set the width of it (it's responsive).

CSS

* {
        /* This will make all your elements have their real size (incluiding with padding) */
        box-sizing: content-box;
    }

    .pro-bar-container {
        background: #ccc;
        border: 2px solid blue;
        height: 1em;
        overflow: hidden;
        width: 100%;
    }

    .pro-bar {
        background: royalblue;
        height: inherit;
    }

    .pro-bar-width{
        /* Here is where you specify the width of ur progress-bar */
        width: 80%;
    }

    .pro-bar-candy {
        animation: progress .6s linear infinite;
        /* Don't touch this */
        background: linear-gradient(
            -45deg,
            rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.25) 25%,
            transparent 25%,
            transparent 50%,
            rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.25) 50%,
            rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.25) 75%,
            transparent 75%,
            transparent);
        /* Don't touch this */
        background-repeat: repeat-x;
        /* The size of the bars must match the background-position in the @keyframes */
        background-size: 2em 2em;
        height: inherit;
        width: 100%;
    }

    @keyframes progress {
        to { background-position: 2em 0; }
    }
