Mode line in inactive windows is nearly invisible

[cavd]

When there are multiple windows, it is nearly impossible to see the (e.g.) buffer name of inactive windows.

The inactive modeline has been designed to be colored with the base background color nord0 and only the active window modeline should be colored with nord2 to make it easy to see which window is active.
Normally only the background should be changed and texts should be readable.

Can you post a screenshot please so I can see whats going on there?
Also please post a list of all emacs packages you've installed which modify the modeline (including themes) so I can try to reproduce it.

The inactive mode-line face does need to be a little more distinct.

Here is a screenshot with Emacs started with -Q, then loading nord-theme:

The inactive window is on the left.

For comparison's sake, here is a similar layout with the vim nord theme:

I've changed the foreground for inactive mode lines to nord4.

Looks good to me.
