UI footer while printing?

Is there a way I'm not seeing to get the UI's footer to display while the print is in progress?

While the MK4 Screen is way cooler, I think the old LCD had more utility.

RE:

Yes. Click the knob. The print preview will vanish and you’ll get options to select Tune/Pause/Stop. The footer will be displayed too on this screen. This print preview screen will come back after not pressing any buttons for 30 seconds or so.

If you don’t like the print preview screen, and prefer it have the screen with Tune/Pause/Stop and the footer all the time while printing, there’s a menu option that shuts off the print preview screen. I’m away from my printer and forget the exact menu option though.

You can also change the three items displayed in the footer, and add up to a total of five items. Lots of options in addition to the defaults of bed, hotend temp, and filament type. These include X/Y/Z positions, heatbreak temp, print and hotend fan RPM, and more.

And for even more fun there’s a screen that gives you all sort of information, including all this but also current draw of print bed, current draw of printer, xBuddy temp, and more! This screen is fun to look at but has so much info you need to scroll, and is not a screen you can leave up all the time.

Yea, I was hoping to keep the preview screen, and just add the footer back. 

To disable the preview screen and keep the "tune/stop/pause" full time. change the preview time to "off" I think it was settings -> UI

Disappointing, but workable.
