Did you know... You can hide the Visual Studio status bar? - #112

I'm not sure what the user scenario is for hiding the status bar, but if you need / want to hide it, you can.  Go to Tools - Options - Environment - General and uncheck Show Status Bar

Shows the difference when the status bar is not showing

If you have a real-world example, please let me know!  Thanks!

Wonder if it's not a side effect (requirement) of full screen (Alt+Shift+Enter)?

I would suspect that the most prevalent use case is laptop users who want as much space as possible for code.  One line doesn't seem like much, but it does matter to some users.

Sara thanks for your tips.

BTW i recently saw an article on customizing the color of Compilation errors in the output window (linux world)

http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2007/Dec-21-1.html

Visual studio has any option to customize it or any hacks are there?
