Play a bit with this customisation:

=A0'(mode-line ((t (:background "magenta" :foreground "b= lack" :height 1.5 :family "bauhaus 93"))))
=A0'(mode-line-inactive ((t (:inherit mode-line :background "PaleT= urquoise1" :foreground "grey20" :box (:line-width -1 :color = "grey75") :height 0.875 :weight light :family "times unicode= "))))

In GNU Emacs 24.0.50 I've seen a variable mode-line-in-non-selected-win= dows. It gives you easy access to customising the `mode-line' and `mode= -line-inactive' faces. My example is just something to play with. And s= ee the effect.
