Highlighting cursor lines

Hello,

Is there a way to highlight the cursor line in other windows in the current tab differently than the window that has the focus? I like to know which line is selected in each window, but also want to be able to tell at a glance which is the window where my editing and cursor movement will happen.

I currently have a series of autocommands to restrict the highlight to the current window, which helps me figure out the current window (such as if I go to another application and then come back to Vim), but I would also like to know where the cursor is in other windows:

augroup cursorLine
  au!

  au WinLeave          * set nocursorline
  au BufEnter,WinEnter * set cursorline
augroup END

Thank you very much.
