Status bar

In computing, a status bar is a component (widget), often at the bottom of windows in a graphical user interface, displaying the current status of the application or the window. The Status bar, which is often divided into different segments, can contain text, clickable elements, buttons, pop-up menus, and so on. Status bars are also used in online surveys to indicate the position in the questionnaire. Tehrefore they may also be called progress bars.
