Hi all,
a while ago, David mentionned that at least two people from the
#org-mode IRC channel would be interested in having pretty icons in
org-mode buffers. I have to confess I'm the second one :-)
After a little experimentation, I ended up with the results shown in
these screenshots [1] [2].
The code can be found on github [3]. Currently, it is not based
on overlays, like David's linkd.el, but on display properties. It is
still unclear which of the approach is the best, but as David
offered his help and is by far more skilled in elisp than I,
hopefully these kind of implementation details will be solved
quickly and the code will become actually useable.
As for the icons, I make them from scratch using Inkscape and the
Tango [4] colour palette.
So, what do you think ? Is this a direction you'd want org-mode
to go ? Please, share your feedback & suggestions !
Also, I was thinking that putting such kind of screenshots in org-mode's
website could make us gain a little more votes...
Cheers,
Nicolas

Err... this just reflects my current lack of expressiveness in elisp... don't make me blush :-/ What David meant was not to ask you to integrate a ready-to-go patch, but just to ask you to have a first look at the changes need to be made to org.el, and tell us if you'd be inclined to accept them, when they are ready. The changes only consists in adding more hooks to org's font locking mechanism --- at least that's the idea ; the probability of mistakes in my implementation is above 100%...

The patch looks good. It does not add any hooks though, it moves some of the font-lock functionality into special functions that will then be overwritten by the org-icons package. A bit of a brute force approach, but it may actually be the right thing for this purpose. I think I can easily apply the patch - I even like the fact that it cleans up the font locking a bit and moves stuff into functions. But if this patch is preliminary, keep working on it and give me a more complete version when done.

I'm unsure it's the best approach either. I'm wondering that all these (while (re-search-forward)) could slow things down. I'm not sure I fully understand the font-locking code, but it seems like it performs several -- possibly many -- regexp searches on one part of the buffer, alternatively adding or removing text properties, right ? I'm just wondering, could this be rewritten as one or several state machines, that would trigger text properties addition/removal only once for a given part of the buffer ? > > > I think I can easily apply the patch - I even like the fact that > it cleans up the font locking a bit and moves stuff into functions. > > But if this patch is preliminary, keep working on it and give me > a more complete version when done.

As for me, I see saw between "eye candy is great" and console-only :) The last one, because eye candy slows my old machine down in many cases, which org-icons does not. Minor quirk: The TODO states are less visible with the default theme. This is because the org-headline faces I use. The stars of a headline are the same size as the icons. Good work :) - thanks!

I'm wondering that all > these (while (re-search-forward)) could slow things down. I don't think these functions should do a while regexp search. Finding the next match, leaving the cursor after it, and returning t if something was found should be enough, font-lock will then call the function multiple times if needed to address the entire visible part of the screen. Also, searching for the special keywords could maybe be combined into a single regexp. Might be faster. > > I'm not sure I fully understand the font-locking code, but it seems > like it performs several -- possibly many -- regexp searches on one > part of the buffer, alternatively adding or removing text > properties, right ? Yes. And font-lock decides about the region to cover. > > I'm just wondering, could this be rewritten as one or several state > machines, that would trigger text properties addition/removal only > once for a given part of the buffer ? This is how font-lock works. While typing, it constantly rechecks the current line and stuff close to it, but not the entire buffer. Sometimes more is needed, for example inserting a double quote makes the entire rest of the buffer a string...... > > I think I can easily apply the patch - I even like the fact that > it cleans up the font locking a bit and moves stuff into functions. > > But if this patch is preliminary, keep working on it and give me > a more complete version when done. > > Well, thanks for your support ! > By the way, you didn't give your opinion on using icons yourself. > Please confess us, are you a text-only addicted kind of guy, or a > flashy, glossy icons amateur...? To be honest, I was not excited when I first saw David's icons. Yours look a lot better - but I don't expect to use them myself. But others seem to think differently, and I am not going to stand in the way if the impact on normal Org-mode performance is unnoticeable. - Carsten ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 17+ messages in thread

I think that the main interest of this will not only be to make a buffer pretty, but to show information in ways which are easier or more comfortable to understand. For instance: - showing completion status of a task: icons could form a progress bar, like [XXXX..], green if >50%, red elsewhere - marking the tasks with a color from a gradient which represents something; for instance: the more recently you have clocked a task, the redder (hotter) it is - the amount of children/text a collapsed tree has (a big lack I have noticed in org-mode). The icon could try to offer a mini-representation of whether the tree has little content, some content, or much content - in agenda view, an „only icons“ view would be able to show much information in little space. For instance, the distribution of projects/categories/tags in a month Just some ideas. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 17+ messages in thread

I am beginning to see that this could in fact be useful, thanks for your post. - Carsten ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 17+ messages in thread

I can see one has to clone the git repo, but then what? The readme just says to "patch the org mode code". Which version of the org code? What is the org.el in the org-icons lisp dir? How does one patch? Thanks for any help, r. Carsten Dominik <carsten.dominik@gmail.com> writes: > On Jun 25, 2009, at 1:28 AM, Daniel Clemente wrote: > >>> So, what do you think ?
