#10696 Complete createStatusBarItem in window namespace from VSCode API

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -12,6 +12,7 @@
 - [core] Removed method `attachGlobalShortcuts` from `ElectronMainApplication`. Attaching shortcuts in that way interfered with internal shortcuts. Use internal keybindings instead of global shortcuts. [#10704](https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/pull/10704)
 - [plugin-ext] function `logMeasurement` of `PluginDeployerImpl` class and browser class `HostedPluginSupport` is replaced by `measure` using the new `Stopwatch` API [#10407](https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/pull/10407)
 - [plugin-ext] the constructor of `BackendApplication` class no longer invokes the `initialize` method. Instead, the `@postConstruct configure` method now starts by calling `initialize` [#10407](https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/pull/10407)
+- [plugin] Added support for `vscode.window.createStatusBarItem` [#10754](https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/pull/10754) - Contributed on behalf of STMicroelectronics
