Draw status text in the Tool Settings bar if visible, rather than
Header.

This PR makes it so that status text will show on the Tool Settings bar, if there is one and it is visible. If not, it will show on the Header as it does now.

Tool Settings bar visible, header color set to a high alpha value:

Tool Setting bar is visible, header color with very low opacity:

Tool Settings turned off, header color set to a high alpha value:

Tool Settings turned off, header color with very low opacity:

Draw status text in the Tool Settings bar if visible, rather than
Header. Only clear to transparent if Header is transparent or Tool
Settings is partially transparent.

3081f9ac7a Header can be treated as transparent if it has any transparency

since the text will only be there if there is no tool settings.

Thanks for tackling this issue!

Is it possible to retrieve the alpha value of the background and use that instead instead of going fully transparent? To not have the entire bar flickering when the background is partially transparent.

I was getting that alpha value but then was thinking that the gl_clear was some kind of limitation, but it was not. I was just not thinking about it right.

The PR now should work with all alpha values of the header color. I updated the first comment and captures.

To me this works great! As a bonus I also like that the tool settings are replaced with modal settings. This makes closely related statuses use the same space 👍
