Hi
My only with the status bar, is that long texts are truncated. Pity, as those long texts show the wide possibilities of some rich tools.
On an other hand, a lerger status bar would cause a loss of working space.
I was wondering if having an hotkey (shortcut ?) allowing an temporarly expanded statusbar or the complete display of the statusbar as a tooltip would be a good idea ?
Regards,
Matiphas

Oh, and cornelius even has a fourth idea, see here: http://cornelius.rvge.info/my_files/inkscape_status_mockup2.png
In the case of mockup 2 I'm not sure about the HIG compliance and if it is possible to have multiline and formated tooltips in GTK.
Well, and as an alternative to concepts Colin mentioned I did one more mockup after he sent the message. This one deals with the problem using only the tooltip for the status bar.

comments to the last mockup are welcome too
