This is intentional, as an indication that this is indeed an inactive time stamp. While I can see that you might be looking for the closing bracket, I also think that this is a quite natural way to mark inactive time stamps. Sure, I *could* make this marker string a variable - what would you propose as better options? - Carsten > If need be, could it be possible to customize this appearance ? > > > _______________________________________________ > Emacs-orgmode mailing list > Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. > Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode - Carsten ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

(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 ?

I treid to use inconsolata in emacs under windoze XP, but the font looks terrible, no matter if I activate clear type or not. How did you set emacs up to use inconsolata? Thanks Markus > See ?
