The "status bar" is the name given to the area found at the very bottom of the Blue Iris
window.
The status bar contains three important areas. To the left is an area for text messages. You
will notice that this text changes as you move the cursor over the Blue Iris window to describe
what's below the cursor. Next is a display of your available hard drive space on the volume
configured to accept your New clips. To the far right of the status bar is a "sizing handle." You
may click the sizing handle and drag the mouse to size the Blue Iris window (you may also use
the right and bottom edges of the window). The balance of the status bar consists of a series
of miniature icons. These icons are shown "grayed out" when inactive. Here's a description of
each one:
