You mean the multi-color bars in the corner?  Those
indicate the status of each interface managed by the
interface control and which way traffic is flowing.

Check in the source code directory under the help
subdirectory and you'll find a help-English.dat file
and there's a short paragraph about it in there:

QUOTE
The last area will display the device status for each
interface. Each will display in order first to last or
0 to 9. The interface status is separated into three
areas, top device type, center data flow, and bottom
interface operational status.

The device type will show what interfaces are
configured. The color will show what type of device
the interface is configured for. Blues are for the
various TNC devices; Greens will show the GPS devices;
Yellow for Internet Servers; Orange for WX interfaces.

The center will show data flow in (arrow pointing
left) or data flow out (arrow pointing right) for that
interface.

A green box at the bottom will show if that interface
is active. A red box will show if the interface is
active but in an error condition. Otherwise nothing
will show if the interface is not active. 
END QUOTE

Hope that helps
