Specify Height of Status Bar

Setting Key: height Setting Value: #ofpixels

This option specifies the height of the status pane in pixels. As a general rule of thumb, the height in pixels should be at least double the point size. For example, if your font is set to 11 points, the height should be set to 23.

The backcolor option sets the background color of the status pane. The forecolor option set the color of the text.
