Toggle status bar visibility or combine into tool bar #561

Pretty self-explanatory. Option to hide the (rather large) status bar on the bottom of the window. Optionally, make it smaller vertically, or move the coordinates and zoom factor drop down up to the tool bar, as there is ample space for them. The point is both the tool bar and status bar take a significant amount of space on smaller screens (MacBook Air for example), much of it unused, and it would be nice to reclaim some of this space for the tile map.

Hmm, at least on Linux and Windows the tool bar can be hidden or positioned at the side. I guess that doesn't work on OS X because I turned on the use of a unified tool bar. I could try to put in an option to turn off the unified tool bar, so that it can be positioned on the side.

For the status bar, I think it would be nice to switch to the style used by modern browsers.

Actually the tool bar (at the top) CAN be hidden on OS X, which is great. I'm specifically asking about the status bar (my name for it), the one at the bottom of the screen. Unless I'm missing something, I can't find a way to hide that. It just seems to take up a lot of vertical space for the amount of information it provides (grid coords, status string, and zoom factor). So that's why I'm wondering if that could be combined into the top tool bar. That's probably too much work and probably isn't worth it though, just the option to hide it (or make it much smaller vertically) would be great, thanks!
