I've been recomended to ask about it here.
Is it possible to have modeline for minibuffer window?
Ideally I need modeline in (minibuffer . only) frame. In (minibuffer
. only) modeline you can show global xemacs environment, such as use
display-time, show current gnus/erc status, or drawing working
messages. When using gnus-demon feature, changes in any group will
affect only (minibuffer . only) modeline, or using erc's track mode
will affect only (minibuffer . only) modeline. I think window local
modelines should not be overflowed with additional(actually unrelated
to window) information to be more accurate.
