SSMS 22 - Not seeing the Database name information in the Status Bar and Title bar is gone.

I installed SSMS 22 yesterday and am trying to get used to the features.
I am not a fan of the new layout.
I might be in the future, but at the moment, not so much.

Status Bar settings are all set to [True]
But nothing is showing in the Status Bar.

There is no Title Bar anymore. WHY Would they take away the Title Bar? That is insane.

So, my question to the Forum is this.
How do we get the Database Name information in the Status Bar?
As stated, everything is set to TRUE in settings.

Also, will the Status Bar show the title of the Editor file you are working on?
(I miss the old design, to be honest. )

    The database name and other information should be displayed in the status bar of SQL scripts.

    Never mind on this one.
    The Status Bar for the Editor is on the bottom, OR you can set it to the top.

    The IDE Status Bar does not show anything; I don't know why I thought that it did.

    I still miss the Title Bar.
