Status bar is always displayed in the bottom of Shades' window. It does not contain any interactive controls, but often shows useful information. It consists of three panels.
The first panel shows three things about the point (pixel) in picture over which is placed mouse cursor: small patch of the same color, position and its value in hexadecimal notation. Color of these texts also changes according to what type of color is on the questioned position: Black is for normal colors, blue and olive for player-specific (primary and secondary, respectively), red for glowing and green for transparent.
Second panel shows zoom level and the third one is mode depedent - it displays information about current operation or overall status.
