Description
Image glass does have a "status bar" of sorts in its title bar. This is not ideal, as the title bar is controlled by windows and it is subject to a number of things such as
- The global windows title bar font size
- Thin title bars settings
- Additional shell buttons that the user may have installed that obscure the title bar
Finally, the title bar is subject to an external tool that removes all title bars for all windows, which is something I use. I believe ImageGlass even has its own internal setting to disable the title bar.
Whichever the case maybe, it essentially becomes impossible to know basic things such as the total image count or the image path.

The above is ImageGlass and the following Is Opus D8 Viewer. Opus D8 Viewer has a dedicated status bar, whose font size can be set independently from windows title bar:

The following is again a comparison of ImageGlass and Opus D8 Viewer but with the windows Title bar removed for both windows.
The D8 viewer status bar remains visible and provides critical information. I hope you will consider to implement a status bar panel that can be toggled on/off with a hotkey. Cheers!

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points to begin from. First locate the desktop title-bar status display and the settings or hotkey handling it uses; done means a separately visible, independently sized status bar that can be toggled with a hotkey and still shows the image count and path when title bars are hidden.
