flycheck-color-mode-line.el

An Emacs minor-mode for Flycheck which colors the mode line according to the Flycheck state of the current buffer.

Installation

If you choose not to use one of the convenient packages in Melpa or Marmalade, you'll need to add the directory containing flycheck-color-mode-line.el to your load-path.

Configuration

Put this code in your init file:

(require 'flycheck-color-mode-line)

(eval-after-load "flycheck"
  '(add-hook 'flycheck-mode-hook 'flycheck-color-mode-line-mode))

Customization

The faces can be customized in the customization group flycheck-faces:

M-x customize-group
