      Clementine had an option "Show above status bar" for the now playing widget, which added

      [NowPlayingWidget]
      above_status_bar=true
      

      to clementine.conf

      Since Strawberry doesn't use the now playing widget anymore, that option is gone. But this option not only placed the widget, but the whole sidebar above the status bar.
      Is it possible to get this option back?

      The reason is, that I use Strawberry mostly tiled and in that configuration the seekbar becomes very small.
      Below is a screenshot to illustrate what I mean. Clementine is to the right with
      above_status_bar=true , Strawberry is to the left.

        After looking at playingwidget.cpp it seems that the option is still there, it just needs to be placed under [PlayingWidget] instead of [NowPlayingWidget].
        The following block in strawberry.conf shows the sidebar above the status bar, just like Clementine did:

        [PlayingWidget]
        above_status_bar=true
        

        Having a GUI option for that would still be nice, though!

          The option is there when testing here:

            Sorry my fault, I was under the impression that Strawberry retired the now playing widget in favor of the context tab in the sidebar.
            I only realized just now that it's still available - if I enable it, I see the GUI option as well.

            But since this option actually applies to the whole sidebar instead of just the widget, wouldn't it make sense to show this option under "Behavior" or "Appearance" in settings?
