obsidian Side Dock Ribbon + Status Bar

Reading 1.4.4 release notes I had an idea that it might be an interesting idea to have status bar inside the right ribbon.

This is a very crude CSS transform to illustrate the point:

WDYT?

Ooooh this is an interesting idea! How do you feel about the readability if we transform it that way? I will test this out over a few days to get a personal feel about the functional aspects but this is a really good suggestion. Got me thinking.

OH i had another idea while typing - maybe we could also do a, "Show on Hover" status bar - it's like the side dock ribbon Show on hover, but for the Status Bar.

Yeah, I don't know. I think it would be all right. But I guess I'm used to reading sideways from the sliding panes plugin 😅

Ahaaa! Right right. I forgot about that plugin. I'll add that on the next update ;) Thank you for the suggestion!!

It might be better to properly integrate it by nesting status bar inside side dock ribbon and make it look nice, instead of my little ugly crude transform above 😅

This is def not a priority just a random idea.
