GUI inhancement - status bar

I was wondering if its possible to change the interface for Noscript, so that it will improve the actual design (at least in my view, others may have other opinions).

Topic: Change the location for the status bar messages that are related to Noscript's actions.

Reason: Maintain consistency of the GUI so that the Noscript button will stay in one place
and not shift its location.

How: Move the Noscript button(icon) to the left of the status bar (left down corner of the browser window), and the Noscript messages to the right of this button.


I know you can show just the icon , without the text, by unchecking the option
Appearance > Show status bar label, but I am treating the case with both icon and text.

There could be other factors that would make this change hard/ impossible, but frankly I can't think of any right now.
Here are 2 variants:

I do prefer the variant with the label moved on the right left of the icon: this way you allow user to customize the icon position (e.g. by using the "customize status bar" extension) or other extensions to get the lower-left corner for more important reasons.
Thanks for the suggestion.

label moved on the right of the icon
Is that right of the icon or left of the icon? (Maybe I should look in a mirror - & shave!)


Glad I was right, or is that left ;-).
