Can you move the Visual Studio status bar icons away from the bottom right position? I would like to have them somewhere where my eyes are more often during coding, e.g., as in the following image.

I dont know how but I hide my blue bottom sidebar (B) in Visual Studio Code. But i really need this. Any help is there some shortcut to show this sidebar?
View -> Appearance -> Show Status bar
I don't know why but Microsoft decided to make the title bars of the windows of Visual Studio 2013 and Office applications huge! They are so thicker than normal windows and this is really annoying especially if you have a small screen.
Do you think there is a way to change this?
There is an extension for Visual Commander to hide Visual Studio 2013 title bar. In the HideTitleBar function instead of setting visibility to collapsed you can try to change height.
I don't think you can change the size of the title bar. The best you can do is to auto-hide it, that way you see the ribbon only when you need it.
There is an extension of Visual Studio https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/4bb76b8a-cef1-4223-8f9c-8e815e50e56c for download.
It can change the title bar smaller instead of hiding it. Because if you hide it, you loose the control to move the window around or minimize it.
I am using a dark theme in Visual Studio 2010 and whenever I move the mouse to the left end of the editor it makes the whole block white, which is really annoying.

How to turn this feature off?
I believe this is a VS "Feature" rather than a CodeRush one.
See if this helps...
Locate: Tools->Options->Environment->Fonts and Colors
Then choose Collapsible Region -> Background color and alter this value to the same as your editor background.
This should stop the color change.
I always exit Visual Studio when its main window is at a certain area on the screen. But when it starts up, its window is always maximized. If I click the maximize button, it is restored to the size I left it in previous session.
It is bothersome to do this at every program start-up. It covers the area of the screen which it isn't supposed to; making other tools working on that area stay behind. And what makes it even more cumbersome is the bulky and slow start of Visual Studio.
Is there any way of setting the start up window size and position? It is like, in somewhere an option "Start main window maximized" is checked, but I can't find such a thing under Tools > Options. Visual Studio 2010 did do this behavior.

Is there any way to change the color of the execution point arrow icon in the Visual Studio 2010 debugger?
I'm talking about the pale yellow arrow that goes in the left margin at the line where the execution pointer currently is. My problem is that its contrast against the very light gray background of the margin is very poor and I sometimes have a hard time spotting the arrow.
I didn't see any way in the visual studio settings to allow this change, and while I found this Change Visual studio 2010 color palette which links to a vs theme editor allows changing themes for a lot of the VS UI elements - it doesn't seem to affect the debugger margin icons or the margin color itself.
Yep, Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors > under "Display Items:", choose "Current Statement".
Just did it myself :-)
