I have problems persuading my statusbar to use the colors i told under "Preferences/Display/Color&Fonts/Other Colors/Status Bar". Whatever I change, the Statusbar remains gray...
Further: Can I change the color of "input fields" (Command Prompt, Pathbar, ...)? I didn't find any option for this...
I'm not sure why that is. So long as Use system colors is not checked it should use the Text and Background colours you have specified. (And if Use system colors is checked you can't specify the colours, so presumably it isn't.)
They use the system-wide colours so, yes, you can change them via Control Panel -> Display -> Appearance -> Advanced. Of course, this will change the way all applications look, not just Opus.

Ok, but can you reprocude this? Has anyone been able to change these colors? The Text color is the only thing I was able to alter, the background stays gray. Can this be due to any statusbar-formatting? I haven´t seen any code to change the background color, the colors I can use there (similar to HTML) do only change the font, isn't it?

I was afraid of this answer... I was already assuming it... Too bad...
Not that I know of, but you might as well try resetting your status bar to the default format to double-check that. You can paste in your old format again afterwards.

Did that already... Even the original settings won't work... Still grey... Only my font changes color... strange... Seeing you screenshot frustrates me even more... Now I know it can be done. So I'll have to delve again in the depths of the customizing options...
Could you post a screenshot of your lister, and the preferences page? Maybe there will be something in it that makes the problem jump out if one of us sees it. There could be something I'm just not thinking of.
I don't think it's the codes themselves since they work for me.
One thing that is odd, though... In your screenshot the free-space bar graph has adopted the green colours that you want to use for the status bar, but for me it's the default blue. Or was your screenshot above made when your status bar codes were different to the ones you posted and set the bar background colour?

You statusbar looks good I wish mine would act like yours...
These were the exacts codes. The green-color of the free-space-bar was set using "Display / Colors & Fonts / Other Colors / Graphs / relative size graphs"
I use dual lister, you´re screenshot looks to me like a single lister...
Further: How can I set the color to "default"? I use the color red for hidden files and the black for the rest. How can I tell to use the color defined for text in statusbar in the preferences if it's not black?
<#ff0000>This will be in Red</#> This will be back in the default colour
Nice catch AlbatorIV!
Was it literally a grey image that was assigned to the status bar? AFAIK there isn't an image assigned to it by default. Maybe it came from a theme that you tried out or something. Glad the mystery is over anyway!
I have the same problem and the trick with blank picture does not help...
I unchecked "use system colors" but I am able to change the font color only - background always remain the same. Mine is black as I have the black theme applied in my Vista.
