I couldn't get it to work in the hardstatus eiher, but it does work
in the caption line, so I use it to switch the screen window
name colour to red so they stand out.  This is only useful if you
have the caption line showing though:

%?%P%{=kR}%?

Full line:
caption always "%{= dK}%-Lw%1>%?%F%{= kw}%:%{= kw}%?%>%?%P%{=kR}%?%n%f 
%t%{-}%+Lw%-0=%{-}"
