• Tabs and ribbons for the mode line

This package provides utilities for displaying elements of the mode line as tabs and ribbons. It also provides replacements for a few built-in elements.

• Make sure that the face ~mode-line~ does not set ~:box~ and that ~:underline~ and ~:overline~ are the same color or are both ~undefined~. If defined, then the line color should be different from the ~:background~ colors of both ~mode-line~ and ~default~. The same rules apply to ~mode-line-inactive~. The line colors of ~mode-line~ and ~mode-line-inactive~ do not necessarily have to be identical. For example:

  #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package solarized-theme :config (load-theme 'solarized-light t) (let ((line (face-attribute 'mode-line :underline))) (set-face-attribute 'mode-line nil :overline line) (set-face-attribute 'mode-line-inactive nil :overline line) (set-face-attribute 'mode-line-inactive nil :underline line) (set-face-attribute 'mode-line nil :box nil) (set-face-attribute 'mode-line-inactive nil :box nil) (set-face-attribute 'mode-line-inactive nil :background "#f9f2d9"))) #+end_src

• Note that the above example is for ~solarized-theme~ and that for your theme ~(face-attribute 'mode-line :underline)~ may return nil. If you want borders, use something like ~(let ((line "red")) ...)~, in that case.

• Add something like this to your init file:

  #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package moody :config (setq x-underline-at-descent-line t) (moody-replace-mode-line-buffer-identification) (moody-replace-vc-mode) (moody-replace-eldoc-minibuffer-message-function)) #+end_src

• Such replacement functions are defined as commands, making it quicker to try them out without having to add anything to your init file.

• To undo the call to a ~moody-replace-*~ function, call the same function with ~t~ as the value of the optional REVERSE argument. You can accomplish the same by interactively calling such a function with a prefix argument to do so.
