pfcolors, pfheights, and statusbarcolor

[KevKelley]

I was using pfcolors and pfheights playfield options with the standard kernel. I understand you can only set the playfield colors once, unless you use this modification. While I was messing around with code with the statusbarcolor, where I was trying to set the statusbarcolor to a variable, I had noticed it changed the color of the top row of the playfield to be the same as the status bar.

 

I was curious as to why this occurred.

Don't know why, but the fix for it here is probably the same:

Ah. I was planning on playing around with it to see if I could get some effects out of it. Thought it was neat.
