mode-icons
Show icons instead of mode names in emacs.
Some of the modes that have icons instead of names now:
| Modes | icon |
|---|---|
| Coffee |  |
| CSS |  |
| Emacs-Lisp |  |
| Haml |  |
| HTML |  |
| JS |  |
| Lisp |  |
| Org-mode |  |
| PHP |  |
| Python |  |
| Ruby |  |
| SVG |  |
| Sass |  |
| Scheme |  |
| Shell |  |
| Slim |  |
| YAML |  |
When looking at buffers with commands like ibuffer, they display the
icons for the mode names as well. If you don't like this behavior you
can change mode-icons-change-mode-name to be nil:
(setq mode-icons-change-mode-name nil)This only displays the icon in the plain emacs mode-line.
This may not work with enhanced mode-lines like poweline or
smart-mode-line, since they typically look at the mode-name
variable.
Additionally, if the image icon was an xpm icon, then you can have
it changed to match your mode-line face. In the example below, the
inactive mode-line shows the emacs and yasnippet icon changed to match
the inactive mode-line:
This is enabled by default, and can be disabled by:
(setq mode-icons-desaturate-inactive nil)You can also change the icon to match the active mode line (disabled by default):
(setq mode-icons-desaturate-active t)Requirements
As of version 0.3.0 you can also use icons from some icon fonts, specifically:
You need to have installed these on your system in order to use these fonts, mode-icons will not do this for you.

manually
Place mode-icons.el somewhere in your load-path and copy the
icons/ directory there as well. Then require mode-icons in your
Emacs init file.
