TextusGames Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Please expose to users parameter to hide status bar. This bar is only useful for learning but further it just eats vertical space. I Removeing this bar will increase valuable vertical space. Patrick Connor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am using the notebook , so buying new monitor is not suitable for me. However in the text settings file you can disable status bar by changing it parameter from True to False.

TextusGames Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 That is how my Affinity Designer's layout is looking now without status bar and bottom horizontal scrollbar (Windows 10 175% scaling, than windows scale is set to 175% and bottom windows bar is hided the bottom part of Affinity Designer's unmaximaized window is a little bit beneath screen (Issue). But it is good for me because it hides bottom horizontal scrollbar ) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorpig Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 @TextusGames Thank you so much ! Great tip. UPDATE : I spoke too soon. I thought it had worked but the Status bar has come back. When I double checked the xml file the setting has reverted back to True. How can I commit these changes permanently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not remember clearly, but this only happens if you use tab button on keyboard or menu command that allows to work without extra interface (kind of full-screen). If you do not use this commands status bar is not returning once you disable it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 There may be another way, see this thread https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/84387-hide-the-bottom-status-bar-that-shows-the-hint-text/ razorpig 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

razorpig Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Thanks carl123. That works and I can confirm that in the latest Beta the info bar remains hidden after a restart. Great solution ! Although I can't help thinking this is another 'hack' for something that should be so simple. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCEyre Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I agree that the hints at the bottom of the page are unnecessary, especially for experienced users. But the page indicators and navigation buttons that come with them, I find invaluable -- especially when I'm working on very large projects -- which is always. I am willing to live with the hints in order to have the page navigation tools. I would like an easier way to bring them back when I accidentally hit the tab key and lose them. In fact, I would like a button that would put everything -- the studios and toolbars -- back the way I had them. It seems like it should be as simple to bring them back as it is to remove them. Maybe tab should toggle this back and forth? Wishing.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean by "before"? If you mean "what was there just before you toggled the UI off", then that's what toggling the UI on again should give you. Or do you perhaps mean that you: Toggled the UI off. Switched to Preset 01 without toggling the UI on again. Then sometime later toggled the UI again?
