(Get the code!)
I suggest a much simpler solution, the same thing that Chrome does with its bookmarks bar:
1. The toolbar will be shown at first when opening a file for the first time with Scribes (or when opening a new, unnamed file).
2. When you start editing the file, the toolbar automatically hides and stays hidden.
3. You can use a keyboard shortcut to bring the toolbar back, and to hide it again. Whether or not the toolbar is shown is remembered on a per-file basis.
This seems much simpler and less elaborate than the trigger area,, and it'll allow me to have a Scribes editor window as undistracting as I could in Scribes 0.3, i.e. with no toolbar and no trigger area (although there will still be the problem of the new-style status bar sometimes covering over the text you're trying to edit). It'll also mean you can get rid of the trigger area colour option, further simplifying the UI.
