(Maybe none will confuse. People use mode-line without mouse-face for long time. Any color will improve this situation.) How about menu items? The color I defined is inspired by the Gtk+'s menu item color defined in Blucurve RedHat's Desktop theme. I don't have strong opinion about color if `mode-line-highlight' face is available; I will set my favorite color to it. Masatake YAMATO
