For full functionality you have to enable the OK button in the zenity progress dialog! It is disabled by default.
check:
d=/usr/share/zenity
cat --number "$d/zenity.ui" |sed -rn '/GtkButton.*zenity_progress_ok_button/, \%/object%p' |grep --color sensitive
You can set an icon for alarm, time and info.
examples:
Ftimer u 1:23:
time Ftimer c 5

Bad News!
zenity 4 uses the imo ugly gtk4. And there is no more zenity.ui. You have to patch the source and compile yourself!
git clone https://github.com/GNOME/zenity && cd zenity
patch --verbose src/progress.c ../enable_OK_in_progress.patch
meson setup zen
meson compile -C zen
zen/src/zenity --progress --pulsate
# OK/default: ret 0
# Cancel: ret 1
# set local var *CMD* with full path
... and if you're unlucky also suppress a libEGL warning.
