This face is used for ordinary text that doesn't specify any other face.

This face is used for mode lines. By default, it's drawn with shadows

Like @code{mode-line}, but used for mode lines of the windows other

@item header-line
Similar to @code{mode-line} for a window's header line. Most modes
don't use the header line, but the Info mode does.

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