[Feature Request] Alternative Chrome-like status bar
-
I don't want the status bar to take space that can be used to display web pages, but I still want to see where all the links point to. My suggestion is: when you disable the classic status bar, links' href should be displayed in a small pop-up in the bottom-left corner of the window. Just like in Chrome and all the other big web browsers. We can perform actions available on the status bar anyway, using keyboard shortcuts. Leave a comment if you like this idea.

Yes the statusbar is one of the few things i actually like in chrome…
But i would enhance it a little bit with the ability to place buttons there. The user would have to hold a modifier key(shift, ctrl or alt) showing/locking it to be able to interact with it. -
I'm with you, i need a chrome-like status bar. If i deactivate the actual status bar, i can't see the link, like you said.
I created an account just for reply and support this post.

#footer.disabled{ display:block !important; position:static !important; padding:0 !important; height:0 !important; width:0 !important; } #footer.disabled > *{ display:none !important; } #footer.disabled #status_info{ display:block !important; } #footer.disabled #status_info span{ position:fixed !important; bottom:0 !important; left:0 !important; margin:0 !important; color:#333 !important; background-color:#FEFEFE !important; padding:2px 5px !important; border:#9E9E9E solid 0 !important; border-width:1px 1px 0 0 !important; max-width:50% !important; overflow: hidden !important; white-space: nowrap !important; text-overflow: ellipsis !important; z-index:50 !important; } #footer.disabled #status_info span:empty{ display:none !important; }
This code is working only when status bar disable.
It's not perfect. Popup status info overlaps the panel.
