Hi i know all of that now: But…
question 1 title bar for 1 application i dont wont change all my windows setting in OS. I wont full screen to hide that title bar pernamently… If i change personalisation all the time i must do that two times becouse i not use black theme in windows… Hide binder and Inspector still not mean full screen… Windows border and titlebar hiden + maximize mean fullscreen.
question 2
I know options but nice will be when all shortcut will be on full screen in fiew columns display for fast look when you not remember something not for change and on 1 screen without any mouse roll…
All on one screen info: like here.
question 3
status bar show only words number just add page number and row number here
Something like here. Not in buble after cursor select.
question 4 Ok i can do that without compile…
You were complaining that it hurts your eyes…
Do you actually have some software that you specifically need to be blinding ?
Is how it looks in the details a true priority ?
Tell me you change title bar color and you still not see windows task bar? All program icons and apps? You rly dont know what mean full screen? Even if i change color to black after change window to other apps scrivener magicaly was white again becouse unactiv window… -_-
Not blame me i just try all your hint and still this is not perfect is nothing wrong elminate all aplication problems becouse this is how patch must work.
Reason? OK…
I know my Dos generate font using grafic chip and image alweys will be better then any program coz he not use any font.ttf file but i wont give scrivener stupid for you looks now becouse moust time i work in dey and i write only night time. If i can i wont dos version scrivener but i know i cant thats why i have problem with meny uselles things for others, at first look… After that i can just save my work and back again later without send paste my work to other editor and format all acapits dialogs and other again. And make it looks good like in normal book. This is my reason to even write here now. You dont even not realise how meny great apps i can use if my language not be Polish… Then i never even ask for this future here.
Im really confused,
Why dont you just put your OS into dark mode globally? I feel like global dar + hard title bars would solve your issue.
The status bar cant really give you pages as it doesnt know your export target. If i am understanding your question correctly. Or, if you want it to give you “commands” like DOS does, then you asking for something that most people would hate.
As for a “cheat sheet” popup, not a bad idea. I think it would help new users for sure.
Here (beside the one concerning a shortcut for the corrector on/off) is what I have a problem with, concerning your requests :
In majority, you are actually asking for things that can already be done.
Yes, but not in the way you want them to.
Because you want them in a way that is, in your perspective, more “user friendly”. Or, more precisely, more “new user friendly”.
And this is where I have a problem :
Simplicity and versality don’t go hand in hand so much.
Yes, Scrivener has more of a learning curve than some other software. Ok…
But that doesn’t mean that it is harder to use. (I actually find it quite easy to use, having taken the time to learn how it works. – And trust me, 1) it works, 2) the way it is designed overall makes perfect sense.)
If someone wants to use an easy peasy wysiwygeasy software, fine. (Plenty out there, some even free.)
But on my end (and I believe I am not the only one), I don’t want easy. I want versatile.
Perhaps it is best for a new user to know what to expect, rather than having everything made effortless.
P.S. Just to make sure it is perfectly clear : I don’t represent Literature & Latte in any way. I am just a simple user like you. This is just my personal opinion ; engaging no-one but me.
P.S.2 Also note that I actually tried to show you how to get what you wanted. If you are not satisfied with the way things are presently achievable, you are in your right.
P.S.3 I am not sure what this, in the end, is supposed to mean,
…but it is the kind of things I personally would avoid saying here.

Scrivener is not hard to lern at all like moust aplication on windows is quite simple. But full screen option is nice anyway, i also not wont sey too much here, becouse all user is difrent not all must think same, scrivener is for me just another tool to export my work not main tool but i rly wont make him better, how hard can be add futures who now egsist but let him be more configurable for user choice? If not full screen then meybe just “alweys on top” Still will be better. I dont wont focus mode if i wont app like this Nano or focus writter is much better for write normal book. But this is not point tell someone what is better becouse for coding vim is best choice for simple text nano Scrivener can be good fore scene play script. But not all that tools is needed for one person. Application is great when all can configure it for best comfort work not becouse i can use 100 type tools for writing… Even conversion for epub2 3 or mobi have bug probably becouse SCR. use Amazon tools for export. I export book for mobi format all was ok i try same option and seme book to epub3. Error then i again try mobi and again error. Then no one tell me this is best apps still much must have patch, even if i not blame any software developer for this i still wont make SCR. better then now. This is point of community, beta tester and this forum. Even if my all idea is bad not tell me i ask for someone who is done already, becouse is not true. Full screen is nice for that apps i know that. And still theme also have color bug or some section can be updated to display nice looking interface becouse now still some edit canot be done without apps update… But this is subject for difrent place on that forum. And if i find more bug or point to upgrade i write here again. Even if no one cares what i write here…
Hi i not need command like in dos i know not meny ppl know how to use all in dos and i not ask for this, i also know i can dark mode in windows. I dont have any problem to use scrivener now even if im new user. But upgrade program for some setting and small changes in config file not mean only i wont this.
Example on Status bar i see now number of word… but in page view i also see page. What is wrong with add option in menu and check box what will be display on my status bar?
If i wont number of words, page numbers, number of columns, or row, status when file is saved, or what type of data i wont to be dispay pernamently on my status bar? To not use page view when i wont look page number or mouse cursor to show me bubble with that info? This is small changes but make all aplication perfect for all step by step. Same full screen mode in normal view not in focus mode.
As for a “cheat sheet” popup, not a bad idea. I think it would help new users for sure.
Yes but not only when you new, imagine you write something and you wont use some option example change unprintable character view or margins size. You look on shotrcut coz you not need remember all and you press only ^H for fast look not ctrl+, then mouse to change tab to keyboard then roll over all list for looking shortcut, becouse faster will be only go to option change marigin size and not look keyboard section anyway…
This maybe looks super uselles when i add this to list for upgrade but now you see my whole point of view…
In order to tell you how many pages you have on the status bar rather than in the statistics panel, the software would have to be compiling your draft live. As in all the time. Tracking each and every changes you make ; slowing everything down.
The software would be barely usable.
That is not “small changes”.

Slowing down? Rly? Now you have in scrivener oprion to show You number of word or number of character, but never together. This is not 8 bit era when you have 8MB ram memory. Nothing not will be slowing down, becouse you wont looks for meny statistic in one time. This is writing apps not bitcoins diagram with 10 000 statistic changed evry 1 sec.
You are missing too much of the concept to make a comparison.

Then if i miss concept and status bar must be like this cant be named status bar becouse not show any status. Then tell me why this egsist and what for?
Alright alright.
Lets call it a footer bar then.
Because that is what it is actually called. Should you have read the manual, you’d know.
I called it the “status bar”…
…because that’s what you called it earlier, and I was trying to give us a chance to understand each other.
As for your screenshot where you make your argument that you get the same info twice, you are actually wrong. It is not the same info. It just happens to say “15 words” in both places because that is all your project contains as far as included in compile documents goes, and that sole document is actually what you have in the editor.
This, too, is fully explained, section by section, in the manual.
P.S. That would be my last participation to this here thread. Expect no further reply from me. So, no need to solicitate it.

Please don’t forget that some users may not be as comfortable extracting information by reading the manual, depending on their English fluency.

In such case, the logical thing to do would be to ask for clarifications.
(Bunch of users here willing to help ; in exchange for nothing.)
Certainly not to criticize based on false assumptions, only to denigrate the answer on the sole basis that it ain’t what one wanted to hear…
@devinganger, you just didn’t read the thread now did you…
A+ for setting an example.

The Footer bar, at the bottom of the window, displays information about the document (or documents, if you’re in Scrivenings mode) currently loaded in the Editor; i.e. word count, character count, zoom level on text, compile status and word count target, if one is set.
The Quick Search box, located in the tool bar, is exactly that - a quick search bar. When your mouse is not hovered over it, it shows the name of the document that currently has focus - handy if you’re in Scrivenings mode and have several documents loaded in the editor. If you have project and sessions targets enabled, it has a visual indicator of your progress. When you mouse over it, it displays project level stats. So it has multiple functions, all told.
If I take the project I currently have open, I have a single document loaded in the editor, and the footer bar looks like this:
But this project is quite advanced, and so my Quick Search bar looks like this when I mouse over it. Note the blue line across the top indicating project target progress, and no blue line at the bottom because I haven’t begun to eat into my current session target. The project target progress is shown on the left, and the session target on the right.:
This screenshot is from the manual, and shows the different ways that progress can be indicated in the Quick Search tool:
It took me a little while to figure out how to use the Quick Search, but it’s a really neat tool, and performs very different functions to the Footer Bar. I know this is a Windows topic, and my examples are from the Mac version, but I believe the principles are the same. There’s a good explanation of the Quick Search tool at Section 11.5 of the manual (Mac version), if that’s helpful.
You are footer bar i see name in program config…
or Devs must change it to footer bar…
Anyway name configure not egsist for that…
This is how normal config looks.
Then you can decide what you wont see and how your info must looks.
You can just swap symbols save config and over…
Yes my english suck i can read manual and will be ok but i wont upgrade that app anyway, still i write on forum info. about Polish translation becouse also my language in that program is super broken and need more wotk to be good. I ask how i can translate scrivener becouse i help translate 1 app before and i need only info how i can edit translation and corect all mistakes.
But no one answer me yet.
I not lie
I know Vincent like Scrivener what is now but i think some aspect of that program can work much better and still some work must be done to end all changes. If some can be better then why not do that. Confortable work with apps is the key if you spend working fiew hour dey by dey… If my useless speach some time change scrivener and more ppl will be happy for more config options will be great anyway.
Why manual is not in my language? Meybe becouse Polish translation Scrivener is on same lvl like my English. All alweys tell not need translation “lern English” but tru is difrent meybe not in program but in games book or story nativ language is impotrant. Some joke sound good only in that language and in other can be taken for something ugly and discasting… Problem for me is not eng lang in scrivener, but if you do something do it good or none. Thats why meny subject on this forum have idiotic ideas becouse meny people meny posibilites and configurations, someone who need some option uselles for all others meybe need this becouse his work is more easier… But we as community must discus about all. Then meybe next patch will be something super awesome to all others…
PS. I Swer i look manual then Vincent, and if you can add num of word and characters then i not see any problem to add more info on “footer bar” ← super wierd name… then if now is configurable can be ez edited after add more variable.
