The minimum width of a TextMate window seems quite wide, at over 500 pixels on my machine. This is over a third of the width of the screen on a MacBook Air.

I can't see anything in the document or mailing lists or GitHub issues list, other than a mention that the status bar now has a minimum size: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.editors.textmate.general/35919/match=status+bar+minimum+width

This pull request may also be related: https://github.com/textmate/textmate/pull/793

Is it possible to hide the status bar, or remove some of its components to make its minimum size smaller?

If there's not a user configurable setting to support narrow windows, is there a hard coded setting in the code that I could override for my local build?

My environment: 

TextMate: most recent alpha build from the website -- 2.0-alpha.9419. Same behaviour when built from the latest source (2.0-alpha.9420+git.e49504a).

Mac OS X: 10.8.3

MacBook Air 13"
