While I am reading articles in Akregator, little dialogs will popup out of my status bar of the form:

[Feed name] ======100%====== [X]

They can quickly consume a significant portion of my screen real estate, as they stack up on top of each other.  I have turned off all preferences relating to these to turn them off.  I have tried toggling my status bar on and off.  Despite this, they continue to pop up and be a nuisance!  Why on Earth would anyone even want a notification that quickly chews up over half of the size of the article window?   It's a bad design.

I would've downloaded the source code and fixed it myself, but the sf.net site for the project only lists the out of date 1.0.2 code and DOES NOT link to wherever the real development of the code is occurring.  Please go to 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/akregator/

and disable/replace the website with something that is not misleading and useless.
