They're called hscroll-glyph and continuation-glyph, and can be
colored (they get colored in Gnus when the rest of the line is colored).

There's rsz-minibuffer.  There's code in the sample.emacs to turn it
on.  There are problems with some of the settings (see recent postings
on comp.emacs.xemacs), but the settings:

(cond (running-xemacs
       (autoload 'resize-minibuffer-mode "rsz-minibuf" nil t)
       (resize-minibuffer-mode)
       (setq resize-minibuffer-window-exactly nil)))

mostly does a good job.
