In isolation, the mode-line may appear too harsh, but in the context of other windows its not bad at all. In an application supporting MDI, each subwindow would use this same color on its title bar. The most logical alternative to W32GradientActiveTitle would be to use W32ActiveTitle. (Active titles fade from the ActiveTitle color to the GradientActiveTitle color.) I chose GradientActiveTitle because it generally is a subtler color. --- Miles Bader wrote: > Having a white-on-baby-blue mode-line by default seems likely to be an > unpopular change...
