Status bar style #5

Closed mattmassicotte closed 4 months ago

mattmassicotte commented 10 months ago

The status bar was an area that was problematic. It was entirely implemented in AppKit, and integrated closely with theming. There's now a new system, implemented in the "Status" module. However, it is both non-functional also very poorly styled.

It would be great to get it looking nicer!

But, just remember, there is no pressure at all. I'll make sure to update this ticket if I end up touching anything close.

@mattmassicotte may you assign this ticket to me?

Of course!

One of the big challenges here is the theming system (Theme module) is being re-implemented. It will not have enough to make general theming possible. But there should be enough infrastructure to make it possible to do.

The current UI has all kinds of placeholders for various components. The blue bar at the bottom is a placeholder for the search system. The status bar is only the green-colored elements that float over the editor view.

Just looking more closely at it now, I think a good first goal would be to enforce some minimum sizing so that the item don't get squished if the view is too small.

I'm calling this as good enough for now. It's much improved.
