I am pretty new to dopus and have read through what I can, I cannot figure out why the status bar is displayed differently that what is shown by ben. The three bars are always white (empty). This happens on all code I use that has bar graphs. The raised look format is also now displaying on the status bar...or is it suppose to?
Attached is the jpg of what it looks like when loaded on my system.

The bars are using selected bytes to calculate the percentage (i.e. the total number of bytes in all currently selected files). This is defined by the sbL code inside the various {bg} codes. Your screenshot shows that no files are currently selected, but if you select some files you should see them change.

I tried it with selected also. There was no change.
See picture attached.

I think the problem is the file sizes are too small to register a change.
The bar graphs for the left are defined as:
{bg+v=sbL/700m} - selected bytes as percentage of 700 MB
{bg+v=sbL/4.5g} - selected bytes as percentage of 4.5 GB
{bg+v=sbL/dfR} - selected bytes as percentage of free space on the right (222 GB)
With only 30 or so pixels for the small graphs you would need at least 25MB or so selected to register a change in the first one, and at least 150MB for the second.
You'll note a small blue bar is actually now visible in the first bar graph on the right in your second screenshot - this is because the selected bytes are large enough to produce a visible change.
You need to either select bigger files or modify the status bar codes to reduce the denominator of the equations.

Your awesome and quick! Thanks for your help Jon.
