I don't know how to do all this but today while trying to make swipemanger work on PR1.1 I stumbled upon a value that concerns the size in px of the statusbar in /home/user/.config/mcompositor/new-mcompositor.conf
Haven't tried to change it though to see what happens.
and i would like to see more stuff in its pull-down menu. like brightness control, slide to lock screen. etc
