Since: NeoMutt 2016-03-07

Dependencies: None

The “status-color” feature allows you to theme different parts of the status bar (also when it's used by the index).

Unlike normal color commands, color status can now take up to 2 extra parameters (regex, num).

With zero parameters, NeoMutt will set the default color for the entire status bar.

With one parameter, NeoMutt will only color the parts matching the regex.

With two parameters, NeoMutt will only color the num'th sub-match of the regex.
