--- Comment #21 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
Statusbar items are defined in xml files like
https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sw/uiconfig/swriter/statusbar/statusbar.xml
and look like this

<statusbar:statusbaritem xlink:href=".uno:ModifiedStatus"
statusbar:align="center" statusbar:ownerdraw="true" statusbar:mandatory="true"
statusbar:width="16"/>

So we can reasonably tweak the alignment and if it's mandatory and remains as
long as possible on small windows sizes. Of course, a toggle to hide items is
needed too.

One option to tackle the problem is checkboxlist similar to the classic
toolbars where users can hide/show individual items. Would be easy to use and
maybe simple to implement. With the hurdle that right click interaction might
have a meaning per panel.

If things need to be more complex we may add a tab to the customization dialog
with all UNO commands that may work on the statusbar on a left-hand list, the
current setup right-hand, etc. all similar to toolbars or menus.

My take is the simple solution, KISS!
