May I propose these changes to the writer statusbar? These have been achieved by modifying a few lines of .xml and are much cleaner IMHO. See the old and the new one attached in this file (the real thing, not just a mockup):

Changes: 1) Don't autosize the Page number, page style, and language dialog. They look much better when using just the space they need. 2) Remove the Selection mode thing. Unless people are really using that. 3) Remove that horrid page layout thing. I doubt people switch from single to double page layout that often to warrant a status bar entry. 4) Don't show zoom percentages. It doesn't really provide info in a writer doc, and we have magnetic markers for the 100% anyway. What was not easily fixable is: - Show useful tolltips for the remaining entries - Ideally make the INSRT/OVER thing just be a non-click status information thingie. Most keyboards have a dedicated key for that. - Consistently let's launch things on single or double-click but not one or the other in some cases. Review/Feedback? Sebastian
