I haven't used MarsEdit but status bars are usually accessible. You might have to stop interacting with the main content area before you can navigate down to the bottom. This is the case with Safari and SubEthaEdit.

Hi Eric,
I'm noticing the same thing here. I wanted to look at the status bar in MarsEdit so that's why I was so interested in this. So far it is looking like we can't see these bars at least for now.

That's right.

In the case of safari, the status bar shows the page load progress and that is 
about it.  The reason I happen to know is that in safari, the status bar is 
viewable with VO by navigating once to the right of the html area where the web 
page is displayed.  I've never duplicated this in other apps that have a status 
bar though.

Hi Marie,
I know about the vo-shift-m twice command to read the status menu. I am talking about something different here. To get an example of this go into Safari and type command-slash and you should hear Vo either say "Show status bar" or "Hide status bar" depending on it's current state. I am trying to figure out how to read this particular status bar. Thanks,
Doug

Hi Doug,
vo--shift--M twice will bring up the status bar. It holds such items as your clock, battery status if you are using a mac, and for several apps such as time machine and bluetooth,

Hello all:
I am relatively new to the mac and have a quick question. I notice in several applications, Safari being one of these, there is a command in the view menu to show and hide the status bar. However, when I show the status bar I cannot seem to read this using any of the Voiceover commands. How does one go about reading the status bar? Am I missing a command? Thanks in advance,
Doug
