So I'd like to customize them to make it dependant on the major mode I'm in, e.g. in C-programming mode it would be useful to have some button for hiding/showing functions. I also wonder if I necessarily need to have an icon for each button, or if it is possible to assign a text label instead (or any combination of them). Another unrelated question: when I run describe-mode a new buffer is shown. If there is just one buffer it is split and the *Help* buffer is shown on the right side of the active buffer. If there are more than one active buffers the *Help* buffer is opened on one of the existing buffer, which is quite annoying since it may cover some buffer on which I'm working (and which I want to stay visible). So I wonder how I am supposed to customize the logic for showing the *Help* buffer given the current layout (e.g. a possibility would be to open a new frame, or always creating a new buffer without to steal visibility to an active buffer). My emacs (today BZR version): GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1) of 2010-12-06 on arborea Best regards, emacs forever. -- The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.
