Shower transom needed for short person

I am redoing my shower, and want glass all the way up to the ceiling to keep the steam in. My contractor suggested a transom above the shower glass door to let steam out. My exhaust vent is just outside the shower door. The problem is that the shower door is 78" tall, and I'm only 5' tall. I don't think I could even reach a transom above the door. Do I even need a transom if I leave the shower glass door open after showering? Would it look weird if the panels on either side of the shower door go all the way up to the ceiling while I get a shorter custom door such that I could reach a lower transom? Everyone in the house is short, so none of us would be able to reach a transom above a 78" door. My ceilings are only 8' tall, and I prefer glass all the way up so that my small bathroom looks more open. Any suggestions on what I can do? Thanks in advance!
