The '''statuscolors''' [[patch]] allows the user to configure colors for the bottom status line; these colors vary as the [[HP]] and [[Pw]] change and status indicators appear and disappear. This patch is modeled after the [[menucolors]] patch, which allows the user to configure colors for menu items. Both patches only operate in the [[tty]] interface. The user must put STATUSCOLOR lines into their [[nethackrc]], or the statuscolors patch does nothing.

Statuscolors patch is an extension of [[HPmon]] patch; HPmon only colors the [[HP]] display. However, the fact that statuscolors does nothing without configuration from the [[nethackrc]], this fact is perhaps a regression. The HPmon patch remains far more popular; you can find HPmon at [[nethack.alt.org]], while an expanded version of HPmon exists in [[GruntHack]].

The HPmon patch only overwrites the HP display with a colorised version, occasionally neglecting to do this (in which case the display is not colorised) or writing the numbers at the wrong position. The statuscolors patch actually modifies the code in [[botl.c]] that generates the status line, thus inserting color. However, this brings the statuscolors patch into conflict with the [[dumplog]] patch, which tries to modify the same code to support the provision of a string to the end-of-game character dump. [[NetHack brass]] players can use the [[brass interface patch]] which provides one possible resolution to this conflict.

 Statuscolors patch does the same as [[HPmon]], and more; HPmon only colors the [[HP]] display. However, the fact that statuscolors does nothing without configuration from the [[nethackrc]] might be viewed as a regression. The Statuscolors patch is used on [[nethack.alt.org]], while an expanded version of HPmon exists in [[GruntHack]].
