Many widgets are actually composites of other widgets. StatusBar  
derives from HBox, so there are probably one or more "child" widgets  
that you can alter the properties of. I'm not directly familiar with  
StatusBar, but I'd suggest examining its child widgets and  
experimenting with modifying them.
