Hello,
I tried modifying the lines of defun org-agenda-set-mode-name, line 6764, so
that tags are highlighted in the mode-line.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(if (or org-agenda-filter (get 'org-agenda-filter
:preset-filter))
'(:eval (concat " {" (propertize (mapconcat
'identity
(append (get 'org-agenda-filter
:preset-filter)
org-agenda-filter) "")
'face 'compilation-warning
'help-echo "Tags used in filtering"
)
"}")
)
"")
#+end_src
While my code seems correct, it is not applied -- or, maybe, the face is
overwritten by another one, in which case I don't know how to debug: I can't
do C-u C-x = on the mode-line...
Any idea?
Best regards,
Seb

Hello,
Please find a (very useful ;-)) patch for highlighting (in the mode-line) the
tags which are used to filter the agenda.
I'd like even to be able to put in one color the "positive" tags and in
another the "negative" ones, but that's above my current knowledge of
text-properties...
Anyway, here is a usable first version -- where all tags are in the same
color, much more easily to spot (before you wonder why you have so few lines
in your agenda!).
Best regards,
Seb

Applied thanks.
I've updated the patch using org-propertize instead of propertize
and using a better default for the face :)

Maybe you can start by replacing the 'identity function in the
(mapconcat ...) by some (lambda (f) (if ...)) to check whether
each tag filter starts with a + or a -. Just an idea.

Yes, it might be useful to some people -- thanks for this!

Well, I wouldn't call org-default a better default, but that's fine with me. I
mean: if org-default is black for the majority of the people, they won't even
see that you can customize that aspect of the modeline (in a light scheme).
So, I prefer some color (I chose orange) that everybody can customize, and
that makes everybody be aware of the tags used for filtering (in this case).
But, as said, I don't mind the default: I'll customize it anyway for my own
usage.

Just that I'm still to ignorant of the inner working of property list. But
it's nice to give me a hint. That could help me to quicklier come with a
working solution.

Glad if it's of use.

Well, org-default is *not* a good default, 'modeline is. I've pushed a
fix for this.

One advantage of making the use of a face visible is to let people
know they can change it. In this case, changing the weight or using
a different color may be an option -- let's see if people come up
with good ideas.

Thanks for your time in digging into this!

AFAIK, `modeline' is the facename used in XEmacs. In GNU Emacs, it is
`mode-line'.

Using `mode-line' as the default face for highlighting the tags is contrary to
my intended goal: the filters simply won't be different from any information
shown in the mode-line. Hence:
- there is no highlighting by default, and
- nobody even knows that it's customizable...
I think the best choice, if you want to use an already existing face, is then
to choose `mode-line-emphasis'. At least, that one is, by default, bold, so
that one sees something different without any specific customization.
What do you think?
Best regards,
Seb
