Hey there! Let's work through your Glade 3.22.1 issues step by step—since you're new to Linux GUI development, I'll keep this clear and actionable.

1. Fixing the Missing Palette Panel

Glade 3.22.x made some UI changes that can throw off folks used to older tutorials. Here's how to get the full palette back:

First, check the top menu bar: go to View > Palette. If the palette was accidentally hidden, this will restore the dedicated panel with all widgets grouped by category.
If you still only see the dropdown menus (TopLevels, Containers, etc.), those are actually the compact version of the palette. To expand each category into a full widget list, click the small arrow icon (usually on the right side of each dropdown label) — this will reveal all widgets under that group.
Double-check your preferences: Go to Edit > Preferences, navigate to the Interface tab, and make sure the "Compact Palette" option (if present) is unchecked. This forces Glade to show the expanded palette view by default.

Adding a GtkStatusBar is straightforward once you have access to the widget list:

Using the dropdown menus:
1. Open the Containers dropdown (GtkStatusBar is classified as a container widget)
2. Scroll through the list to find GtkStatusBar and click it
3. Click anywhere on your main window (or the parent container you want to attach it to) — it will automatically snap to the bottom if you're using a vertical layout like GtkBox or a plain GtkWindow.
Using the expanded palette:
1. Locate the Containers section in the palette panel
2. Drag and drop the GtkStatusBar widget onto your window or container
After placing it, you can tweak its appearance via the Properties panel (enable it via View > Properties if it's hidden). Later in your code, you'll use functions like gtk_statusbar_push() to add status messages to it.
