The custom statusbar can be used as a WPS for the main UI, using .(r)sbs files. It's using the skin engine and knows all tags the WPS also knows.
The default folder for .sbs is the wps folder to reuse images used in the WPS.
As it can be shown in the WPS also, it's useful to move shared parts to the custom statusbar in order to save skin buffer space.
There are a few restrictions/TODOs:
*) Peak meter doesn't redraw nicely(not frequent enough), as very frequent updates would slow the UI down as hell (some targets fight with it in the WPS already: FS#10686)
*) No touchregion support as the statusbar doesn't have any action handling (it won't fail to parse though).
*) Drawing stuff into the default VP is forbidden (loading images in it is not). You *need* to use viewports for the displaying stuff (parsing fails if no viewport is used).
*) Themes that don't use a custom ui viewport can be fixed up using the new %Vi tag to avoid nasty redraw effectts (you must not draw into it as well, it's used to fix up the ui viewport). %Vi describes the viewport that the lists can use without getting in the way of the statusbar.
Otherwise, it behaves like the classic statusbar, it can be configured in the theme settings, and can be turned off in the wps using %wd.
Note to translaters: When translating LANG_STATUSBAR_CUSTOM, please consider using the same translation as for LANG_CHANNEL_CUSTOM if it's compatible. They could be combined later then.

This will allow for pretty themes, for example those with nice glass effects on their backdrops (some might argue they're wasting screen space but it's upto them),
as well as allowing for future background WPS updates in the main UI.
Plugins are not converted yet, they simply use the full screen. Ideally, any plugin that does *not* want the UI viewport, should take care of that itself (i.e. plugins should normally use the UI viewport).

It adds a shortcut (combo or button) to directly go from the wps to the playlist viewer. The combos could possibly be improved on some targets, but I tried to keep a tad bit of consistency (was hardly possible).
I also added a corresponding touchscreen region and adapted cabbiev2.

icons by Johannes Voggenthaler
pitch screen icon is there but not used because that screen isnt fixed for the touhscreen yet

%T|x|y|width|height|action| <- setup a region (relative to the current viewport) where if pressed the "action" will be done (currently play/stop/prev/next/menu/browse work, suggestions for others to add and better names welcome)
%Tl<timeout> <- used as a conditional to say if the touchscreen was touched in the last <timeout>, use this to enable/disable button viewports or something... same syntax as other timeout tags
cabbiev2 for the mr500 has been modified to demonstrate the new tags. press the pause/play button to pause playback. press the rockbox logo to get back to the menu. pretty icons needed to make this more usable :)

parts of the display. Also introduces a mechanism for selecting a target specific wps if there is already
another wps with the same screen size.

One thing I forgot to mention in the cond vp commit... if any viewports are defined in a WPS, it wont let you display text in the default viewport (the one which has everything up untill the first %V..) You should only use that viewport for image placement

** BREAKS CURRENT WPS's **
* %P has been removed, merged with the new %pb
* %pb is now %pb or %pb|bitmap|x|y|width|height| (any of those params can be - to use sane defaults... check wiki/task for more explaination)
* New %Vl and %Vd tags which are used to setup and display conditionaly displayed viewports (%Vl|<id>|<usual %V params>| to set up, then %Vd<id> to enable the viewport
* bumps the max allowed viewport count to 24
* you can setup 3 different progressbars in a WPS... max of one per viewport though
http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/9027?getfile=16785 is a simple perl script to convert old %P/%pb to the new %pb syntax
I'll commit changes to the cabbie wps soon which shows how to use %Vl/%Vd properly...
Reminder: %m will be removed soonish also so when fixing your WPS's remember to use conditional viewports to replace %m
