The status bar is editable: Preferences - Display - Status Bar. You can't have more than one status bar though, that's true.
(Please ask one question per thread.)
There's an example in the manual:
[quote]LINE/K: This parameter lets you specify the line and position a new Toolbar is to open on. For example:
Toolbar “My Toolbar” TOGGLE STATE=top LINE=1
This would open the toolbar on line 1 at the top of the Lister (counting from 0). Also,
Toolbar “Drive Bar” TOGGLE STATE=bottom LINE=2,500
This would open the toolbar on line 2 at the bottom of the Lister, 500 pixels from the left.[/quote]
So if you want two toolbars on the right, one under the other, then you'd use something like this:
Toolbar NAME="Development" STATE=right LINE=0
Toolbar NAME="WinMerge" STATE=right LINE=0,500
Of course, you could also simply combine the two toolbars into one so there is only one to manage. But if you have made several copies of your toolbars just to have different backgrounds without using Themes, then modifying them is now a real pain because you have to ensure the changes are made to every copy. It seems like a very bad way to do things to me, unless you are certain you will never want to modify your toolbars.
