I rediscovered that I can use =elfeed-search-face-alist= to customize how headlines are displayed in Elfeed. I had read it before [[https://nullprogram.com/blog/2015/12/03/#custom-entry-colors][on Chris Wellons' blog]], but I didn't have a use for it then.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With =elfeed-search-face-alist= I can define a face to be used for an article with a specific tag. I added the [[https://blabbermouth.net/][Blabbermouth]] RSS feed to my feeds.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
||
|
|
(setq elfeed-feeds '(("https://blabbermouth.net/feed" music)))
|
||
|
|
#+end_src
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And created 2 taggers. One tags reviews, because those always have =/reviews/= in the url. The other has a list of bands that I'm especially interested in.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
||
|
|
(defvar oni-elfeed-blabbermouth-review-tagger
|
||
|
|
(elfeed-make-tagger :feed-url (rx "blabbermouth.net")
|
||
|
|
:entry-link (rx "/reviews/")
|
||
|
|
:add 'review)
|
||
|
|
"Tagger that marks any reviews from Blabbermouth.")
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(defvar oni-elfeed-blabbermouth-favourite-tagger
|
||
|
|
(elfeed-make-tagger :feed-url (rx "blabbermouth.net")
|
||
|
|
:entry-title (rx (or "SLIPKNOT"
|
||
|
|
(seq "DREAM" whitespace "THEATER")
|
||
|
|
;; And so on...
|
||
|
|
))
|
||
|
|
:add 'favourite)
|
||
|
|
"Tagger that highlights specific bands from Blabbermouth.")
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(add-hook 'elfeed-new-entry-hook oni-elfeed-blabbermouth-favourite-tagger)
|
||
|
|
(add-hook 'elfeed-new-entry-hook oni-elfeed-blabbermouth-review-tagger)
|
||
|
|
#+end_src
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And then I can just set up the feeds:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
||
|
|
(add-to-list 'elfeed-search-face-alist '(review :slant italic) t)
|
||
|
|
(add-to-list 'elfeed-search-face-alist '(favourite :foreground "#f17272") t)
|
||
|
|
#+end_src
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As long as the face definitions don't conflict a headline's face would be the combination of all that apply. For example, by default unread headlines are bold, so unread favourite messages would be bold and somewhat reddish.
