**** Modeline
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The =visual-fill-column= package works by expanding the window's right margin. This causes the right edge of the modeline to follow the margin as well, which looks a bit strange. As a hacky fix, I've found that configuring the the modeline to align itself to the right fringe instead of the right window edge seems to fix the issue.

When a buffer has line numbers, they can interfere with the margins and make them smaller than they need to be. We can mitigate this issue by adding extra columns to the window.

** Dashboard
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#+call: confpkg("Dashboard")
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There's a lot of reasons why I don't like Spacemacs and why I left it for Doom Emacs (mainly the fact that it's slow and often opaque to the user), but there's one thing that Spacemacs undoubtedly has Doom beat in:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[[https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/33982951/39624821-a4abccee-4f92-11e8-9e91-3d5b542bbb85.png][Spacemacs's dashboard has /impeccable/ style.]]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Doom Emacs tends to favor practicality over aesthetics with a focus on minimalism, and its dashboard is no exception. If we're want something that looks visually appealing, we're going to need a serious overhaul.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*** Splash Banner
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Doom dashboard allows the use of an image for its banner, which supports any image type Emacs can display, including SVG. I have procured an SVG image to use for my dashboard, the classic Emacs E:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#+attr_html: :width 150px
|
||||||
|
[[file:assets/splash.svg]]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The obvious choice for the fill color of the image would have been purple, the standard highlight color of my theme, but I wanted the banner to pop out a bit more.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The image can be set like thus:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
||||||
|
(setq fancy-splash-image
|
||||||
|
(expand-file-name "assets/splash.svg" doom-private-dir))
|
||||||
|
#+end_src
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*** Title
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Since our banner no longer includes a title, we should add one after the splash image. This title format is inspired by Spacemacs!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
||||||
|
(defface doom-dashboard-title
|
||||||
|
'((t (:weight bold :inherit warning)))
|
||||||
|
"Face used for the Doom Emacs title on the dashboard."
|
||||||
|
:group 'doom-dashboard)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(setq +doom-dashboard-banner-padding '(0 . 3))
|
||||||
|
(defvar +doom-dashboard-title-padding 3)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(defun doom-dashboard-widget-title ()
|
||||||
|
(when (display-graphic-p)
|
||||||
|
(insert (propertize
|
||||||
|
(+doom-dashboard--center
|
||||||
|
+doom-dashboard--width
|
||||||
|
"[D O O M E M A C S]")
|
||||||
|
'face 'doom-dashboard-title)
|
||||||
|
(make-string +doom-dashboard-title-padding ?\n))))
|
||||||
|
#+end_src
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To add the title to the dashboard, we create a new widget that inserts the title string with some padding. We only do this on graphical displays, as non-graphical ones fall back on the default ASCII banner, which includes a title.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*** Other Tweaks
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We'll put our title widget into the ~+doom-dashboard-functions~ hook, and while we're at it we'll also get rid of the footer widget, which I don't see much use for.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
||||||
|
(setq +doom-dashboard-functions
|
||||||
|
'(doom-dashboard-widget-banner
|
||||||
|
doom-dashboard-widget-title
|
||||||
|
doom-dashboard-widget-shortmenu
|
||||||
|
doom-dashboard-widget-loaded))
|
||||||
|
#+end_src
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We should also declutter some other aspects of the dashboard. Since the dashboard has load information built into it, I don't see much purpose in printing it to the minibuffer on startup.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
||||||
|
(remove-hook 'doom-after-init-hook #'doom-display-benchmark-h)
|
||||||
