<p dir="auto">I'm not sure how others but I personally just HATE the huge status bar<br>
of GTK 3. It's such a colossal waste of precious vertical space and not<br>
making the height adjustable is a terrible design choice IMO.</p>
<p dir="auto">Anyway, end of ranting, the GTK status bar is just a GtkBox and a label<br>
(plus some message stack that Geany doesn't even use) so it's no problem<br>
to replace the statusbar with these and set the height to a sane amount<br>
of pixels.</p>
<p dir="auto">To me, the result is MUCH better and from the themes I tried, it looks<br>
the same like the original status bar (apart from the height of course).</p>
<p dir="auto">There might be a problem with plugins that try to access the status bar<br>
directly and don't use msgwin_status_add(). The only plugin that seems<br>
to do that (correctly) is the "web helper" plugin but from the code<br>
it appears it falls back to creating a fake status bar if it doesn't<br>
locate the one from Geany so it won't crash.</p>
<p dir="auto">What do you think?</p>
