Is it possible to move the status bar

Hello, I teach autocad and would like to move items on the status bar to the top of the workspace (students have trouble seeing it at the bottom when it's projected onto a screen). Does anyone know if that is possible? I would like to move the status bar (or just the row of toggle buttons and coordinates on the status bar) like you are able to move the command line. Given that you can't dock and undock the status bar, as you can the command line, I'm wondering if this is even possible? 

Thank you!

Welcome to the Autodesk forums.

 

As far as I know, the Status bar location is fixed.  The only solution I can think of is to resize the AutoCAD window so there's some space between AutoCAD and the Windows taskbar.

I think it's fixed too. Thanks so much for your quick responds and suggestion.  I'll give it a try.

Have you ever used the Magnifier tool?  It's part of the Acceissiblity tools included in windows.  It's intended for people with eyesight issues.  If you set it up right, it could even serve to highlight one particular part of your screen.

 

See the screenshots below for a couple different possibilities.
