Hi,
I don't know what happened, but after installing a new version of Ubuntu
(and keeping the same home directory, including .emacs)
, the bar that normal shows what file I have open an what line I'm on, etc,
is solid grey.
Does anyone know how to change the color settings? I think the text must be
the same as the color of the bar or something. What is this thing called,
anyway? Might make it easier for me to search for commands if I knew its
name.
cheers,
Rich

I just noticed that it is only the currently active buffer; if I have more
than one buffer open, the info bar displays normally on the buffers not
active. what is going on...

Type `M-x (i.e. Alt-X) customize-face', then return, then at the prompt
type `mode-line'. For the non-selected buffers type `M-x
customize-face', then return, then `mode-line-inactive' the prompt.

Ah, thanks!
I also found this line of code after an hour or so of googling:
(set-face-background 'modeline "#4477aa")
It changes the active face to blue, quite nice..
cheers,
