Nice idea.

I think this would also potentially be a good place to show the "status light bar", but on the screen itself. Or, alternatively, change the progress bar to use the lightbar colors. Right now, at a glance from afar or a darkened print room it may be somewhat difficult to see the status. I doubt Mini is often used in farms, but still.

Render quality mspaint mockups: Added-on lower bit of the screen as indicator image

Colored progress bar image

Caveats:

Caveats:

  • Product department would probably hate this because it's somewhat inconsistent with the color scheme
  • Status light bar may be a future addition to newer hardware if and when the Mini gets an upgrade path

That is a really good idea!
