I am using the ujelly theme via the terminal. If I have the window split,
the active window shows the file-name in bright white colors. If the window
isn't active, then it shows the file name in the mode line (?) in a grey
color. The problem is that it's almost the same grey as the background,
thus making it very difficult to see when it's not active.
I simply want to change the color of the text that displays the file-name
in the mode-line of a non-active buffer, however, I have no idea what this
face is called.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jai

In situations such as this - do `M-x describe-face RET'
and then write some probable prefix (as in "mode-line")
and hit TAB:
mode-line
mode-line-buffer-id
mode-line-emphasis
mode-line-highlight
mode-line-inactive
I think mode-line and mode-line-inactive are those that
apply for your question.
