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, 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.
