Created attachment 140243 [details] Screenshot of non-removable Toolbar The toolbar at the bottom of the netbeans window is not removable like all the other. This costs valuable screen space, because the only thing visible is the String "INS" and sometimes a build progress bar, which should be able to be moved somewhere else.
what ?
In the screenshot i attached, you can see the area(long thin rectangle) in the bottom of the netbeans window, where it says "INS" on the right. This area serves no purpose other than displaying "INS" and sometimes a build progressbar. My point is that this area cannot be removed to free up the screen space like in other applications, e.g. for code.
No plans to change it, Standa ?
In NetBeans 7.4 the status bar has been merged with the bar for minimized windows.
