Current Behavior:

You took the info that was important, but seldomly referenced from the top of the screen and moved it to the side.

Before, you could scroll up and view this info if needed. And scroll down to get away from it.

Now, you take up 40% of the screen 100% of the time with this info that doesn't need to be in your face. You take away from the actual useful part of the UI with useless garbage features. Turn it off.
