794 By default, the mode line of non-selected windows is displayed in a | |
795 different face, called @code{mode-line-inactive}. You can control | |
796 this behavior by customizing the value of the variable | |
797 @code{mode-line-in-non-selected-windows}. If its value is | |
798 non-@code{nil}, non-selected windows are displayed in the | |
799 @code{mode-line-inactive} face. If the value is @code{t}, the | |
800 selected window is displayed in the @code{mode-line} face even when | |
801 you type at the minibuffer prompt. If the value is @code{nil}, all | |
802 mode lines are displayed in the @code{mode-line} face, even when the | |
803 window is not selected. The default is @code{t}. | |
