Is it possible to change the color of text and the background of the status bar?

Yep, though I'm not real sure about the background. All you need to do is insert an %ansi() function into the text of your status bar object. %ansi() uses the color chart described in the help entry for the #COLOR command.

Actually I found out that by reversing the colors, I can get a black background, but if I use the "red" color it comes out as a dark crimson like color, but what I want is a bright red...

Background colors, by default, can only be dim, not bright. You can, however, change the eight background colors in the Preferences to whatever you want.

What I've come up, which is the closest I have gotten to what I want is %ansi(1216) which is a black background with dark red lettering... because I could not get the black background to display on the status bar, I had to use black lettering with the dark red background, and then use the %ansi(rev) to switch them... but I am still looking for black background with red lettering, solutions anyone?
