Hi, my drawing application wants to display the color in-use in the status bar, how can I do that?

It changes the whole status bar to the color specified. How to change a specific pane of the status bar? Thanks.

I'm sure the status bar class I used to do this years ago came from CP so have a look on the site. You need to create a class that overloads the status bar to do this.....
