On the bottom of the window we have an almost unused status bar. On all three OS-es this is the same bar so I assume it is a java or servoy thing.

Now I have some info I want to show like creator and modifier of a record.

I do so on the bottom of the form now. The result on OS X is fine on let’s say a tabpanel since os x has a wide border.

On windows this looks ugly so I have to put it somewhere else…

Does anybody know if and how we can put such info in the mentioned bar?

Thanks
