Small suggestion for you @dalthviz, otherwise looks good to me.

[ccordoba12]

@dalthviz, could you post a screenshot in the description above to see how this looks? Thanks!

[ccordoba12]

Thanks @dalthviz! This looks pretty cool!

[CAM-Gerlach]

Looking pretty good, thanks! A couple small tweaks, and two other visual issues:

• The horizontal spacing between the percentage number and the text in the status bar seems a little bit too much; could you reduce it by a 1/3 to 1/2?
• Maybe out of scope, but the overall text seems vertically misaligned with the other status bar items and its own icon, looking lower by at least a few pixels. Maybe out of scope here, but any way to align it properly?

A preview with the latest changes:

Checking the alignment more in detail I think that the further difference in alignment comes from the interpreter status not having an icon. If I put an icon to it I got this:

Should I add the icon to the interpreter status bar @CAM-Gerlach @ccordoba12 ?

Thanks. The space between the percent number and the text to its left still seems a bit much; it could probably still be cut in half if that's possible

👍 from me, it looks a lot better, though seems like best to do in a separate PR

This is probably a Qt layout/css issue, which is usually not easy to fix. I'm fine to merge this one as it is, unless @dalthviz is willing to invest more time to find a solution for it.

+1 from me, it looks a lot better, though seems like best to do in a separate PR

I agree. In addition, I think that shouldn't be a blocker for the 5.4.0 release.

[dalthviz]

I have been checking and it could be related with the QLabel padding but it will need further research so sound goods to me to merge this as it is.

Regarding the icon for the interpreter status bar, should I create another PR for that, right?

I'd like to discuss first what we should do about the two status widgets that show almost the same interpreter information.

LGTM for now from a UX perspective, then, given those two follow ups
