Description

I have the Status Bar and Path Bar showing by default for all of my Finder windows, and it shows for the disk image window as well. What ends up happening is that the Status Bar (underneath the Title Bar) pushes everything (including the background image) down about 22 pixels. If you also have the Path Bar turned on, it appears at the bottom of the window and overlaps any background or contents by about 25 pixels.

It would be really nice to be able to configure these elements so that we can have full control over the layout of the disk image window.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the disk image window lays out the Status Bar and Path Bar, and check whether existing configuration options control either element. Define the available options and verify that each bar can be shown or hidden without shifting or overlapping the window’s background or contents.
