+Subject: [PATCH] Replaces magic numbers in statusbar with configurable
+ variables.
+
+horizpadbar for horizontal statusbar padding
+vertpadbar for vertical statusbar padding
+
+StatusText now has both left and right padding,
+as well as the vertical padding that all of the statusbar shares.
+
+Other than the addition of left padding to StatusText, appearance
+of the statusbar is identical to pre-patch when using the defaults
+in config.def.h
