Wanted a different sort of progress indicator cq counter for myself and the result became a customizable gauge. Its needle needs some more work, but for now this one suits me fine.
The class can either create an image (on a baseimage or from ground up) or paint on a graphics object directly (as done in the example project).
In this example the background is just the plain old control colour, but don't mind that. Since the gauge can be drawn on any image, the background can be set as pleased.

As my friend Wonko (http://blogs.vbcity.com/wonkotsane) mentioned to me, there are probably tons of controls like this out there already and some may be a lot better, but I've got this thing about creating it ground up (must be a Dutch thing :-D  ) Anyway, the code and example project are attched below.
