How to populate statusbars

  1. On the statusbar you will see a coloured block to the far left. If you right-click it you get a menu with 4 options, click edit. You can also simply click the block, but that would be too simple.
  2. Now the block should have turned into a gear, one of the elements on the statusbar has a flashing black border and coloured box with a name above it. The colour and name indicates which statusbar this element will be visible in.
  3. With your mouse pointer on the gear scroll up or down. The colour and name of the box changes. If you don't have a scroll wheel you can right click the gear and click next/previous to select the statusbar.
  4. When you have decided on a statusbar click the gear. The next element is selected.
  5. Repeate steps 3 and 4 for all the elements. The statusbar is out of edit mode when the block is a clear colour.
