sidebar: statuses wear italic instead of an indent, and can wear colour
Three columns of indent is a fifth of a sixteen-column sidebar, spent
saying 'this belongs to the row above'. The slant says it in none: a
status now starts in the same column its tab's name starts in, and is
set in italic. That also survives the monochrome themes in contrib,
where a colour-only distinction would have had nothing to spend.
tab_status_fg / tab_status_bg are there for themes that do have colour
to spend. The fg follows tab_count when a theme does not name it -- the
same declared/derived split apply_scrolled makes -- so the six themes
in contrib get coherent status rows without a line added to any of
them. The bg is unset by default, because a band is opt-in and 'none'
is what a translucent terminal wants; the row is padded so a band that
*is* set covers the row rather than the words on it.
Two things fell out. The padding loop existed three times and is now
pad_cells. And cb_color wrote #000000 for an unset colour, so
quietly pinned attach_bg -- 'gray
ink on the terminal's own background', says its comment -- to a black
band. Unset colours are now written commented out, the same trick the
states block uses for what it wants re-derived rather than pinned.
