I think it would not only reduce the visual noise, b= ut it would look slick, and make Org even more fun to work with. The biggest thing for me though, is that they should degrade gracefully. ---------------------------------- From: emacs-orgmode-bounces+jonathana=3Dcriticalmass.com@gnu.org [mailto:em= acs-orgmode-bounces+jonathana=3Dcriticalmass.com@gnu.org] On Behalf Of Davi= d O'Toole Sent: June 21, 2009 5:18 AM To: emacs-orgmode@gnu.org Subject: [Orgmode] pretty icons in org buffers I've been re-entering my life data into Orgmode after about a year of just = using a palm pilot. So I would like to contribute something to the org comm= unity again. A while back I wrote some elisp code for displaying bitmap ico= ns as overlays in org buffers (screenshots at http://dto.github.com/noteboo= k/linkd.html ) As you can see I also drew a bunch of .xpm icons for emacs to display in th= e buffers. I would be happy to contribute these icons and rework that 30 or= 40 lines of overlay code back into a nice little org extension. After a discussion on the #org-mode IRC channel, it seems like there might = be a demand for this. We have at least 2 people who want it. :) What do people think of icons in org buffers? This could actually reduce vi= sual noise and increase comprehension. Think of priorities being colored ci= rcles instead of [#A] [#B] [#C]. Or TODO and DONE and CANCELED being repres= ented by different checkboxy icons. The information contained in this message is confidential.
