Good question. That function doesn't do anything for me. Maybe a Linux VT thing? But don't you want the cursor to take on the color of text? Here, for example, the cursor is white (no or default face); in the citation above, it is gnus-cite-1 which is blue; and so on. As for your issue, instead play with these: (modify-face 'mode-line "white" "blue" nil t) (modify-face 'mode-line-buffer-id "white" nil nil t) (modify-face 'mode-line-emphasis "red" nil nil nil) (modify-face 'mode-line-highlight "red" nil nil nil) (modify-face 'mode-line-inactive "white" "green" nil t) -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
