I don't understand why you would get rid of the status bar in the first place. It would be much better to just leave the older status bar and have the option for the new overlay bit. You just have a check box defaulted to the new system and us old timers who are set in our ways can go in and click the box turning on the status bar.

I have no problem with new things but when you take away things people have used for years you end up ticking off the people whom have supported your software for years.
