Play a bit with this customisation:
'(mode-line ((t (:background "magenta" :foreground "black" :height
1.5 :family "bauhaus 93"))))
'(mode-line-inactive ((t (:inherit mode-line :background
"PaleTurquoise1" :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-
windows. It gives you easy access to customising the `mode-line' and
`mode-line-inactive' faces. My example is just something to play with.
And see the effect.

What is this talk of 'release?' Klingons do not make software
'releases.' Our software 'escapes,' leaving a bloody trail of
designers and quality assurance people in its wake.
