For example, the standard default ScrollZ status line format
looks like this:

%y1[%y2%R%y6] %y2%*%y6%y3%@%y6%y7%N%y6%#%C%+%A%Q%S%I%O %y3%W%y6
%F%y9%H%y6 %> [lj %y5%3%y6]%y0
which when expanded for the nickname Dae on the channel #blue
[1] @Dae on #blue (+tn) [lj Dae/#blue]

The window number %R is 1
The nickname %N is Dae and Dae is a channel op %@ @
Dae is on channel %C #blue
The mode %+ calls up the contents of the STATUS_MODE variable
and displays the channel modes, (+ps)
The end of the status_format %3 expands to the contents of
person that last joined #blue "Dae/#blue"

Everything else is ignored unless it's needed.

You can now include text modification characters
(^B, ^V, ^_ and ^O) in STATUS_FORMAT. If you change
the format at the start of STATUS_FORMAT, you will
have to do it again after any %C or %U, as these
both reset it to reverse video. Additionaly %y1
to %y6 expand to values of COLOR SBAR and %y7 to
%y9, %ya, %yb and %yc expand to values of COLOR SBAR2.
You can turn all colors off with %y0.
