You need at least two display icons, one for the growing bar, and another
for a "mask" to cover the bar to give the impression that it is growing.
You need a animation icon to move the bar, and in the animation icon is
where you'd put the TimeRemaining variable.  The type of animation you
need is scaled path and the TimeRemaining variable goes in the
Variable/Expression field.
