I too dislike the new mode line; in patucular the * to show the buffer as 
been modified was nreadable

I saw the suggesion that there are instructions to revert in  NEWS 
but....

I tried adding that to my .emacs but nothing changed.  I trid customising 
the mode-line face but failed to see where to do this, not detecting 
anything mentioning variable-pitch.

I rarely customise emacs so do not have much practice so I am lost.  But I 
really want the old mode-line back.  Could someone give blow by blow
instructions please?
