Note that the information bar can give quite usefull information also. For example showing if you got any alerts which you might have missed, or indicating that there might be connection or server problems, etc....
The useless info like "you can now chat while you're offline" is normally only showed once. And if nothing needs to be shown (eg: you've got no alerts, and the connection is ok) the bar will not be shown either.
So, personally, I would find a way to incoorporate it in the skin instead of just simply removing it... (especially if you're going to release the skin in public).
The same goes for the Word wheel. For example, I use that all the time since it vastly speeds up searching for contacts in large contact lists.
