Hi Michael,
To hide the background of the StatusStripEx when hiding it, as a workaround, we can set the DockingStyle to None when hiding it and set DockingStyle to BottomMost when showing again. The following code snippet illustrates this:
private void showStatusBarToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.statusStripEx1.Dock = DockStyleEx.BottomMost;
this.statusStripEx1.Visible = true;
}
private void hideToolStripMenuItem_Clickobject sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.statusStripEx1.Dock = DockStyleEx.None;
this.statusStripEx1.Visible = false;
}
Please refer the below sample in the following link:

Fathima
