Inverse Video

User Option: inverse-video

This variable controls whether Emacs uses inverse video for all text on the screen. Non-nil means yes, nil means no. The default is nil.

User Option: mode-line-inverse-video

This variable controls the use of inverse video for mode lines. If it is non-nil, then mode lines are displayed in inverse video. Otherwise, mode lines are displayed normally, just like text. The default is t.

For window frames, this displays mode lines using the face named modeline, which is normally the inverse of the default face unless you change it.
