We barely get away with that on TTY frames (that's how TTY menus are
implemented). On GUI frames, I don't think it's feasible, not with
the code we have now.
As for not accessing any Lisp data: do you really believe our users
will let us deprive them of even the minimal customization
capabilities, like determining the face of this indicator and how it
generally looks? I sincerely doubt that.

We don't write pixels to the glass, we call GUI APIs to do that.
