@@ -7,37 +7,31 @@ 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 a small border between -the echo area and your other windows. This is best achieved with: +The modeline gets restored when you toggle off feebleline-mode, of course. - (window-divider-mode t) - (setq window-divider-default-bottom-width 1) - (setq window-divider-default-places (quote bottom-only)) +## Note on new version +If you upgrade feebleline and it errors, something like "error running timer +feebleline-mode-line-proxy-fn" or whatever, then just toggle feebleline-mode on +and then off (i.e. M-x feebleline twice). -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 -window-divider-mode is not available, then feebleline does a silly hack where -it keeps the modeline active, but shrinks it so that it looks like a -border. +Hopefully you'll like this new version better. If you don't, please share your +reasoning in an issue :) -The modeline gets restored when you toggle off feebleline-mode, of course. ## Customizations -To customize what is displayed, a smidget of elisp is required. The basic idea -is to override the following setq: - - (setq feebleline-mode-line-text - '(("%6s" ((format "%s,%s" (format-mode-line "%l") (current-column)))) - (" : %s" ((if (buffer-file-name) (buffer-file-name) - (buffer-name))) (face feebleline-bufname-face)) - ("%s" ((if (and (buffer-file-name) (buffer-modified-p)) "*" "" )) - (face feebleline-asterisk-face)) - (" | %s" ((feebleline-previous-buffer-name)) - (face feebleline-previous-buffer-face)))) - -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. +There are some customizations available, check out + + customize-group feebleline + +to see what you can do. An example init snippet would look something like: + + (use-package feebleline + :ensure t + :custom (feebleline-show-git-branch t) + (feebleline-show-dir t) + (feebleline-show-time nil) + (feebleline-show-previous-buffer nil) + :config (feebleline-mode 1)) ## Screenshots These screenshots are a bit out of date. I promise to update them shortly. |
