Status Bar
The status bar contains help, progress, and information that is very useful while working in Paint.NET.
Help and Status
Whenever you select a tool, this section of the toolbar will contain some quick help text that summarizes how to use the tool. Some tools, such as the Line / Curve Tool, will change the displayed help text depending on what actions you have already performed. Many tools will also use this area to display information about what you are currently doing, such as the size or length of a selection or shape.
