Record mini widget: Can we make persistent across multiple views?

If you're on a view and decide to record something and then switch view it's unclear that recording continues because either:
- record widget not present on the view you've just switched to, or
- record widget is present, but doesn't show in recording state (with elapsed time).

BTW: I feel like this supports my previous comment about making header and footer common and persistent across all views....

Start by locating the record mini widget and the view-switching or shared layout entry points. Check how recording state and elapsed time are represented when changing views; done means the widget remains available across views and clearly shows the active recording state and elapsed time.
