@cindex mode line, 3D appearence
@cindex attributes of mode line, changing
@cindex non-integral number of lines in a window
By default, the mode line is drawn on graphics displays as a 3D
released button. Depending on the font used for the mode line's text,
this might make the mode line use more space than a text line in a
window, and cause the last line of the window be partially obscured.
That is, the window displays a non-integral number of text lines. If
you don't like this effect, you can disable the 3D appearence of the
mode line by customizing the attributes of the @code{mode-line} face in
your @file{.emacs} init file, like this:
@example
(set-face-attribute 'mode-line nil :box nil)
@end example
@noindent
Alternatively, you could turn off the box attribute in your
@file{.Xdefaults} file:
@example
Emacs.mode-line.AttributeBox: off
@end example
