bug#23755: 25.0.95; Emacs 25.0.95 Line number is in fringe

[James Nguyen <ja.nguyen@gmail.com>]

A combination of that package (smart-mode-line) and setting a box around the mode line is what does it.

  (defun j/make-modeline-taller ()
    "Make the mode line taller."
    (dolist (sym '(mode-line mode-line-inactive))
      (set-face-attribute
       sym nil
       :box `(:line-width 2 :color ,(face-attribute `,sym :background)))))
