[PATCH] make it possible to colorize the status bar [WAS: Re: Remind me of postponed eMails in my status line while I am in index]



Hello together,

I wrote an ugly patch which makes it possible to colorize the status bar
(*index only* at the moment).

Here[1] is the patch. And a screenshot is here[2]. To interprete the
screenshot right: This is mutt running inside a screen with a caption
(so the bottom line is from screen, not mutt).

To use apply the patch to cvs HEAD and recompile. No additional configure,
prepare is necessary. The patch comes at the moment without any
documentation.

If you have deltas please provide them as *delta* to *my patch* so that
it is easy for me to merge the stuff into my bitkeeper tree.

I renamed status to stdefault so ...

color status foreground background

        becomes:

color stdefault foreground background

To use the new additional colorization use the following as example:

color status    brightred white Post:[0-9]+
color status    brightred white Del:[0-9]+
color status    brightred white New:[0-9]+

As usual please provide feedback.

Honestly,
        Thomas [who just wrote another patch that will never make it into 
upstream]
