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!

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