Is there a way to hide the quite large status bar cluttering the bottom of the eclipse window ? (where the heap status, line and column count and further non-essential info is shown).
I am forced to work on a tiny screen here so I already have the fullscreen plugin installed and hide the regular toolbar per default, but a few more pixels would definitely help ease the pain of a 4:3 19".
I found another solution in my research of using the eclipse dark color theme: http://i.stack.imgur.com/3heiL.png

If you've installed eclipse-color-theme plugin, you can just copy paste to Eclipse IDE -> Window -> Preferences -> Appearances -> Chrome Theme -> CSS:
#org-eclipse-ui-trim-status, #org-eclipse-ui-trim-vertical1, #org-eclipse-ui-trim-vertical2 { visibility: hidden; }- If you use a custom theme then you'll have to edit that plugin's CSS. E.g. I had to edit this file eclipse\plugins\com.github.eclipseuitheme.themes.moonrise-ui_0.8.6.jar\themes\css\moonrise-ui-standalone.css and add the above CSS code at the end of moonrise-ui-standalone.css.
You can do this by using quick access. type 'toggle visibility' should find the command that will hide the status bar at the bottom of the window.
With the coming release of Eclipse, you'll be able to hide the status bar via menu.
