Different text/properties in active vs inactive mode line

[sdn . gnuem]

Hello all,



   I've been searching, but haven't found an answer yet.  Is it

possible to add something to the mode line format that changes its

appearance depending on whether the window is active or not?



   I have some colorized (propertized) status elements on my mode

line.  They look fine when shown on the active mode line, against the

'mode-line' face.  But they look garish when shown on the inactive

mode line, against the 'mode-line-inactive' face.



   I've been delving into the emacs lisp code to figure out how the

mode line decides to display in mode-line or mode-line-inactive face,

but so far I've come up empty.  Any help?



Thanks in advance,

-- Sue D. Nymme
