I fooling around creating a new "matrix' green text inspired theme. It's fairly far from my normal muted light text workhorse variation on folio. github.com/benleis1/emacs-init/blob… #emacs

Another video showing some of the recent UI changes I've made to ilist-plus my package for extended ilist-imenu navigation. github.com/benleis1/ilist-plus TLDR: I now automatically unfold the current section as you wander about the file and have some […] [Original post on mathstodon.xyz]

I recently added a zoom in/out on the modeline because I adjust so often when docking and I'm used to the UI convention. The first attempt just used the context menu for controls but I really wanted a slider. However, for a while I just wasn't sure how to do […] [Original post on mathstodon.xyz]

If anyone is feeling brave I would love some early feedback on the new #emacs package I set up at github.com/benleis1/ilist-plus This has the new hierarchical side window for navigating elisp files like init.el. I want confirmation that others can load […] [Original post on mathstodon.xyz]

And my new version On the left hand side. I liked the icon for the major mode but realized it didn't do anything. So I combined it with the major mode segment and saved some space. I also added on a bold filename extension or appropriate mode text to make it […] [Original post on mathstodon.xyz]

Another piece of #emacs config file "spring cleaning" for this week. I've streamlined my modeline after moving away from doom-modeline to one built directly out of the basic components. Here's my old modeline. The parts I liked were the icons where […] [Original post on mathstodon.xyz]
