That's an old version - yes, I know it's what comes with your distro,
but you may get fewer helpful answers for an older version.

Big? I know there's an indication that it's offline at the top, but I
didn't think it was that big.  Depends on how big your screen is I
suppose.

I don't know about turning it off, but start evolution using 

  evolution --offline 

to start in offline mode. There's still a banner at the top, but it
might be less intrusive.


I think this is one of those things that come under "you can't win". In
the past there were a number of posts that came down to people not
noticing that Evo was offline 'cos the indicator is small and in the
bottom left corner, so it was made more obvious.
