Please describe the problem you're trying to solve

I'd like to specify a background color for the center part of the status line, so that it matches my Neovim setup; on the same note, it would be amazing to have an empty line under the status line, maybe used for shell commands (instead of the floating box) like in Vim/Neovim.
See the following screenshots for reference: Neovim status line (in this case lualine) is shown on the left, while Yazi's status line is on the right.

Maybe this has already been requested somewhere else or it can already be done with a plugin, but so far I haven't found anything. I also realize that this is merely cosmetic, so I'm going to understand if it's not considered a priority right now.

Would you be willing to contribute this feature?

• Yes, I'll give it a shot

Describe the solution you'd like

Like said above, I'd like to customize the status line background color and postion, for instance by having a normal_background option alongside normal_main and normal_alt in the [mode] section of theme.toml and a use_newline option under [status].
