I wrote a patch last summer for configuring the caption bar, and sat on it because I'd assummed the project was dead. 4.0.3 is from 2008, and the only traffic I saw on this list was one person asking how to change their background.
amade took my patch and merged it in the same day I sent it to him, and fixed another bug I'd been having with 256colors; I've been using that branch since then and been pretty happy. If he wants to put in the time and effort for a real release, I think that's great and really appreciate it. -Neal
