-The `-status` option sends status text to existing instances of dwlb. This takes two arguments: a zxdg_output_v1 name (alternatively "all" to affect all outputs or "selected" for the current output) and the text itself.
+## Commands

-The text may contain in-line color commands in the following format: `^fg/bg(HEXCOLOR)`. For example, `^fg(ff0000)` would set the foreground red. Colors can be reset by omitting the hex value. `^^` represents a single `^` character.
