It would be nice if the user is allowed to place the status bar where he wants it. I have no idea why you would want a status bar at the top of your screen
I think Mail and Xcode places it there, but I'm also preferring to have it at the bottom, also for decorative/aesthetic purposes, since there are tabs at the top, and nothing at the bottom, and now there's even both tabs and a status bar at the top, and maybe soon there'll be a tool bar, so it gets a bit heavy on the top...
So yeah, it'll probably be configurable where to place it -- though I'm not sure how good the "table view header"-background works in the bottom of the screen. Maybe we need another background for when it's down there.
since almost every other editor I know has one at the bottom and this is also where I look if I want to know exact placement of my cursor.
Ah, then it's just a question of unlearning old habits! ;)
Even better would be if the user is allowed to format the taskbar itself as well. :)
At least the status bar will see many improvements and lots of new added info, some of it clickable... but this currently isn't my main priority!
Kind regards Allan
