Research direction

Start by locating the Liquid Glass toggle under Labs and the code that displays the “What’s Happening?” bar above the tab bar. Check how the bar’s visibility responds to that toggle, then identify where an option to hide it could fit. Done means users can keep Liquid Glass enabled while hiding the bar; the issue names no files or tests.

Description

enhancement

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The new Liquid Glass toggle under Labs causes “What’s Happening bar to appear above the tab bar. It looks very ugly.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would appreciate it if there was an option to disable/hide the “What’s Happening?” bar above the tab bar, so it doesn’t appear at all, since it takes valuable real estate.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Toggling OFF Liquid Glass under Labs is a workaround, but the future is Liquid Glass, so it doesn’t make sense to have this “What’s Happening” bar.
