[comp.emacs] GNU Emacs + X window question: what X window is active?

shapiro@inria.UUCP (Marc Shapiro) (08/21/87)

When using X windows, I find it disturbing not to have visual feedback
whether the emacs window is active of not.  Precisely: when I move the mouse
into an xterm window, its cursor changes color, so does its border and title
bar, so I know it's the active window.  I can even ask it to auto-raise
itself to the top when active.

I have not found any Emacs option to have similar visual feedback.  The
cursor, the border and the status bars always remain black.  I find this
disturbing.  Is there a way to change it ?

Configuration: GNU Emacs 18.44 + X windows 10R4 + Sun 3 release 3.2.

(BTW, is there a way to have *audible* bell in this configuration ?)

Thanks.
