Is there any way to disable the Session App Bar from runtime? If not, can that be added?

This has been answered (no):

This is how you get to what we call the “App Bar” which has important information like what gateway you’re connected to, and other status info, as well as the about screen.

Thanks for the reply. Can’t say I find that answer satisfactory, but I can work around it. I have a pretty slick navigation UI that I’ll have to re-configure. Oh well.

Is there a way to move the session app bar icon from the bottom right to one of the other corners? I would really like to move it to the bottom left.

Would really like a way to change this. Mobile apps often use bottom nav menus but this icon is really preventing me from taking full advantage of that space.

To expand on @ryanjmclaughlin's response, as of 8.0.5, you can now hide the App Bar "Revealer", or change the location by setting the `session.appBar.togglePosition` property to a value from among "left", "right", or "hidden". There is no option to disable the Revealer, but you do have the option to remove it from view of the user.

Thanks! This should get moved up as the solution.
