Description Dov Grobgeld 2002-08-09 06:14:17 UTC 
Currently there is no way of using an arbitrary markup for the text
displayed in the statusbar. It might be argued that the statusbar is not
appropriate for fancy messages, but I believe that should be decision of
the application author, and not imposed by gtk+.

An appropriate interface for such a function would be:

  guint    gtk_statusbar_push_with_markup(GtkStatusbar *statusbar,
					  guint	       context_id,
					  const gchar  *markup);

See:
 http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2002-September/msg00135.html

And followup. It may not be possible to do this in a completely API 
compatible way.

Can this be done for GTK+ 2.4?
Comment 4 Javier Jardón (IRC: jjardon) 2010-06-06 23:07:42 UTC 
I wonder if this is stall necessary as we have gtk_statusbar_get_message_area() now.
