This is a nice feauture. To help distinguish between the two I have '(bar . 3) for `cursor-type' in selected-window and '(bar . 1) for `cursor-in-non-selected-windows'. It would be nice to also be able to specify a different face for the two separate cursor types. In particular, I would like to have non-selected cursors to appear less "bright" than the one apearing in selected-window. I propose ther be a new basic face named `cursor-non-selected'. And, that it be able to inherit from the existing `cursor' face. It would be _really_ nice if there were a buffer-local variable `cursor-in-current-non-selected-window' which could locally override `cursor-in-non-selected-windows' when non-nil. For example, there are some routinely momentary or frequently temporarily displayed buffers where the the `cursor-in-non-selected-windows' may not always be desirable; "*Help*" and "*Completions*" are two which immediately spring to mind. -- /s_P\
