Lets say sometimes independent of the theme, but in general smaller. 3) Finally they fully redesigned the mode-line. I don't like all the changes they did because they require many extra external packages that increase too much the loading time and I prefer to load my emacs in less than 1 sec. But form the aestetic point of view it is an important change. >Changing the font to another default, >or some minor tweaks to the default color theme sounds like very low >hanging fruit that shouldn't be to difficult of a change to get >through. > I know some of these modifications are dependent of time. So they will be updated because preferences changes on time. But in general giving a set of full coherent themes with icons/colors/fonts is everything we need.
