mode-icons

Requirements
Installation
- manually
Usage

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, sicne they typically look at the mode-name variable.

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.

Installation

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.

Usage

Once installed you can add (mode-icons-mode) to your init file.
