New Status bar implementation (C11)

Blog post: January 30, 2018

The new implementation of the Status bar is fully backward compatible. This means that if a program doesn’t use any of the new Status bar/style interfaces, the Status bar is drawn exactly the same as the old implementation. If the interfaces are used, besides the improved visual appearance there are the following changes:

– An empty status bar without zones remains visible and can be used to display
the resize gripper.

– Text from the MSG attribute of controls or menu items is drawn in the
leftmost text zone when the control or menu/item has focus.
