+NOTE: feebleline.el will look considerably better with a small border between
+the echo area and your other windows. This is best achieved with:
 
     (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:
+But in the new version, feebleline checks your major version and applies this
+automatically when feebleline-mode gets activated. If you're on emacs 24 where

+The modeline gets restored when you toggle off feebleline-mode, of course.
 
-Otherwise, do (feebleline-mode t) instead, but be warned that I'm not sure

+## Customizations
+To customize what is displayed, a smidget of elisp is required. The basic idea
+is to override the following setq:

+Just replace the parts you don't like or add new ones as you please. If there's
+any interest in feebleline.el, we can hopefully get some example customizations
+(along with screenshots) posted on this page.

+## Screenshots
+These screenshots are a bit out of date. I promise to update them shortly.
