make progress bar optional #269

Closed aeosynth closed 5 years ago

the progress bar takes up a lot of space and is a kind of spoiler, I'd like an option to disable it

@aeosynth Thanks for raising this issue. Just that I have a better idea of the problem can you please post a screenshot of the progress bar?

On Elementary OS the progress bar on the hover of the book cover and the progress bar when books are being imported into the library are thin and unobtrusive, so will be interesting to see how it looks on your system

bar

it takes up about 1/2 an inch of space at the bottom, and it's spoilery.

Thanks for the screenshot - I can agree with the wastage of the space on the footer. Two suggestions: 1- Right click or do F11 to go into full screen mode to make max use of reading space. 2- I can make the footer thinner for the reading view - similar to the library view. Will try to incorporate this in the next release

The issue was the page number which was appearing on top of the slider making the width larger. I have put the page number on the right side which has now made the footer slimmer on the reading view and of the same size as that of the library view. Here are the before and after screen shots.
