Hi, > I'm working with wxPython 2.8.1.1. > > Does anybody know how to change the foreground colors in a wx.StatusBar You can get inspiration from the following code, but the problem is you will have also to draw all the status bar stuff, not only the foreground color. I don't know any other way. However, I'm used to 2.6 and I could miss something existing in 2.8 (I think to OnCreateStatusBar which exists and don't work in 2.6 and was supposed to work with the next release ; it could be a clue).
