I believe coloring the status bar would even out the interface.
Because right now, the appbar with a proxy, looks like it is sandwiched between status bar & webpage.

I am going to close this feature request for now, as I believe the current behavior is the correct behavior. If there are a large number of people on the forum who feel differently I might reconsider.

I mean just look at this Soren. Are you sure this looks correct ?

Yes, it does to me. As I mentioned in the forum, if you think this should change, you need to suggest another way to visually indicate to the user that proxying is enabled. This indication should be visible at all times that the app bar is visible.

The reason why I like this is because it matches well with domain settings. When domain settings are applied the URL background changes color to indicate that the settings for that domain are modified. When proxying is enabled the entire app bar background changes color to indicate that all information sent by the app is going through the proxy. Among other things, this works well because you can have both proxying and domain settings applied at the same time and the visual indicators don't interfere with each other.

You are right about both proxy & domain setting color mechanisms. I am not denying that. But I'm suggesting to include status bar into the same coloring mix too. That would look consistent throughout the upper portion of the browser, is what I'm saying.

Oh, I had misunderstood. I can see changing the status bar color to match the app bar being a good idea. I have reopened this feature request.

Tq. Btw you should read into the tracker issue carefully before jumping into conclusions. It is literally in the title description "status bar"
We all do mistakes mate ;D
