Re: different background colours in different emacs windows.

[Filippo A. Salustri]

Yup. I've diddled the mode-line already.  However, I have a big screen, and I cover most of it with emacs.  I find that the mode-line is relatively small in that case, and even if I set it to  a rather bright colour, I often can't tell which window is active.

I can understand the mode-line being enough for an 80x24-ish display, but I run emacs at 160x60.

Cheers.

Anyone got any advice?

The mode-line can reflect the state of activeness.
