+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; 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.
