In order to succesfully implement high priority issue #8617 it's needed to revise and rethink appearance and behaviour of workspace switcher and status line. Detailed backround discussions can be found on nbui: http://www.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=303202&listName=nbui
Jano, please take care of this UI task. We need this resolved to be able to implement issue 8617. Thanks
i'll have this redesign finished by milestone 3.
from disucssions with Dafe and Jano and mail sent to nbui: dissabling the workspace switcher and status bar will be done through code only. there will be no change to the look or location of the workspace switcher or status bar. furthermore, the global status bar for mdi that is part of the Dusan's proposal for node status should not be implemented in 3.4 as it will require more vertical space and is not ready for integration with the editor yet (or rather, the editor is not ready to integrate into it yet). if there are further questions please let me know.
