It's something Jan Holešovský is working on -- he asked me to design it. The idea is to have the status bar hidden by default, moving key functionality elsewhere. Frankly, the status bar is a relic of the past, with modern UIs dropping it. If status information needs to be relayed to the user, it is now usually displayed in a small floating box in the bottom left corner of the window that disappears once the info is irrelevant. The status bar was never meant to carry clickable elements. > > Astron. > > -- > Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] > Problems? > http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ > Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette > List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ > All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be > deleted > -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
