panels are situated at the right and the bottom. The one at right shows you the 
sprite's animated preview and information about the sprite, such as size, kind

GUI element on the window: for example when you'll move the cursor to a button 
on the toolbar, you'll see a hint there. Also Sprite Explorer’s state label is 
situated here (it has [PAK] or [FAT] text on it). It shows whether active sprite 
was loaded from a folder or directly from .pak. When you are loading a sprite on 
this panel, you can see the progress bar, which shows the progress of loading
