Hi Carsten,
my personal taste would be some kind of horizontal sign, because it
would look closer to what I'd have drawn myself using pen & paper,
answering my own question "hey, what did I do today ?" (French people
tend to use dashes when writing lists).
That said, I'm using the free Inconsolata [*] font as my main font in
emacs, which offers a rich collection of various geometric shapes &
symbols. So, at no extra cost, I can enhance the aspect of my Org
buffers.
Attached is a little example to demonstrate what can be done. To get
this result:
1. I had to redefine org-agenda-format-date-aligned so that I can
replace the hardcoded lines surrounding dates with better looking ones
2. I used the "Watch" unicode character to represent scheduled events:
(setq org-agenda-scheduled-leaders '("⌚ " "⌚ "))
3. I replaced the hardcoded '[' character denoting inactive timestamps
with a white triangle
See ? Who said Org couldn't be sexier ?
