Status Bar
The Status bar displays at the bottom of the Enterprise Architect work area. It shows information on the current operation and certain key settings, and provides a 'zoom bar' for adjusting the scale of the diagrams you view.
You can hide the Status bar itself by selecting the 'Hide Status Bar' option on the 'Window Behavior' page of the 'Preferences' dialog ('Start > Appearance > Preferences > Preferences > General > Window Behavior').
You can also hide sections of the information that the Status Bar shows by right-clicking on it and de-selecting any or all of the options:
- <current perspective> (to hide the name of the currently selected Perspective)
- Zoom Slider
- Status Indicators

Notes
- The zoom facility has the same function as the 'Scale view by' field on the 'Diagram Appearance' page of the 'Preferences' dialog; changes in the 'zoomed' display scale of a diagram update this field and are applied to any other diagrams that you open
