 # feebleline
 Going full Luddite by removing the mode-line and using echo-area (smartly) instead.
 
+For hardline Luddite editing!
+
+Feebleline removes the modeline and replaces it with a slimmer proxy
+version, which displays some basic information in the echo area
+instead.  This information is only displayed if the echo area is not used
+for anything else (but if you switch frame/window, it will replace whatever
+message is currently displayed).
+
+NOTE:
+feebleline.el will look considerably better with the following
+settings:
+
+    (window-divider-mode t)
+    (setq window-divider-default-bottom-width 1)
+    (setq window-divider-default-places (quote bottom-only))
+
+But this mode does not work for all EMACS versions and may not work with
+terminal EMACS (but I haven't checked).  If you're on GUI EMACS and your
+version supports it, just place the following in your init file:
+
+    (feebleline-default-settings)
+
+Otherwise, do (feebleline-mode t) instead, but be warned that I'm not sure
+if it will look good.
