Well, the column is already narrow, so you must have a very small window 
to hide text... And you can still scroll or maximize the window.
But if the text was longer, it is a waste of space when printing, unless 
designing a special print stylesheet.

I find it nice too, although the dark orange text on black background is 
a bit hard on my old eyes...

The banner is a bit strange. "Editor for X"?
And I prefer when SciTE is correctly capitalized... I saw to many Scite 
or SciTe or other variants... Nice font here.
