This is using the status bar for something else than status info, but it is a nice example for anyone who wants to put all "empty space" in and around the lister to good use, as much as possible. I tend to do so myself (hence my hint a while ago about even using column header space - which of course is less equiped for such a thing than the status bar).

I think I will move some of my (status-related) button commands to the status bar too. Thx for this example.

can they go in a menu (on the statusbar)?

To add menu in status bar. Add <a id="FullMenu"> Menu </a> where FullMenu is the name of toolbar.

thx - doing that already - was hoping for a more elegant (read... less effort) solution
