+# COLORED STATUS TEXT #
+
+## Description ##
+
+This patch enables colored text in the status bar. It changes the way colors are defined in config.h, allowing the user to define multiple color combinations for use in their status script.
+
+## Configuration ##
+
+Download the patch and apply it according to the [general instructions](.).
+
+Modify the colors definition in 'config.h' to suit your needs. Make sure to define at least 3 colors as they will be used for 'normal', 'selected', and 'urgent' windows, respectively.
+
+## Usage ##
+
+Add code to your status script to output the raw characters '\x03' to switch to the 'urgent' color, or '\x04' to switch to the 4th defined color, etc. Note that the color indices in the status text are +1 from the definition in 'config.h' (because '\0' is the string terminator). To switch back to the normal text color use '\x01'.
+
+### Example ###
+
+The following definition in 'config.h':
+
+ #define NUMCOLORS 4
+ static const char colors[NUMCOLORS][ColLast][8] = {
+ // border foreground background
+ { "#000033", "#dddddd", "#000033" }, // normal
+ { "#000088", "#ffffff", "#000088" }, // selected
+ { "#ff0000", "#000000", "#ffff00" }, // urgent/warning (black on yellow)
+ { "#ff0000", "#ffffff", "#ff0000" }, // error (white on red)
+ // add more here
+ };
+
+Coupled with a matching status script produces the following:
+ ![Example Colored Status Text][1]
+
+A really silly example:
+
+ echo -e "normal text \x01 selected text \x03 warning/urgent text \x04 error text \x01 back to normal text" | dwm
+
+An example status script snippet to take advantage of the colors:
+
+ status=""
+ if [$batperc -le 10]; then
+ # use "warning" color
+ status+="\x03 BAT: $batperc"
+ elif [$batperc -le 5]; then
+ # use "error" color
+ status+="\x04 BAT: $batperc"
+ else
+ # default is normal color
+ status+="BAT: $batperc"
+ fi
+
+ # switch back to normal color for date
+ status+="\x01| "+$(date)
+
+ echo -e $status
