I think I'm not a big fan of mixing text and images, but it's good to see you back in Org :) I guess many people don't feel like me and would be happy to try it. Please let us know. If you want to send me a screenshot of an org-mode buffer with .xpm icons, I'd happily add it to the screenshots page here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-screenshots.php Thanks! -- Bastien From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Eric S Fraga Subject: pretty icons in org buffers Date: Sun, 21 Jun 2009 20:31:42 +0100 Message-ID: <19006.35486.546905.349039@pinto.chemeng.ucl.ac.uk> References: <64bfe3d50906210417q125b27a7nc2601f23a3f7104a@mail.gmail.com> Reply-To: e.fraga@ucl.ac.uk Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Received: from mailman by lists.gnu.org with tmda-scanned (Exim 4.43) id 1MISlh-0001Ba-Sn for emacs-orgmode@gnu.org; Sun, 21 Jun 2009 15:31:57 -0400 Received: from exim by lists.gnu.org with spam-scanned (Exim 4.43) id 1MISld-00018S-4h for emacs-orgmode@gnu.org; Sun, 21 Jun 2009 15:31:57 -0400 Received: from [199.232.76.173] (port=45620 helo=monty-python.gnu.org) by lists.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.43) id 1MISlc-00018P-VN for emacs-orgmode@gnu.org; Sun, 21 Jun 2009 15:31:53 -0400 Received: from vscane-c.ucl.ac.uk ([144.82.108.43]:46042) by monty-python.gnu.org with esmtps (TLS-1.0:DHE_RSA_AES_256_CBC_SHA1:32) (Exim 4.60) (envelope-from ) id 1MISlc-0004bT-E5 for emacs-orgmode@gnu.org; Sun, 21 Jun 2009 15:31:52 -0400 In-Reply-To: <64bfe3d50906210417q125b27a7nc2601f23a3f7104a@mail.gmail.com> From: Eric S Fraga List-Id: "General discussions about Org-mode."

This could actually reduce My own bias is less towards icons and more towards text. Sorry. Obviously I don't mind at all if others like icons! ;-) Out of curiousity, does the use of icons require Emacs to be running in a windowing system? I often use Emacs directly on the console (via screen). eric From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Bastien Subject: Re: pretty icons in org buffers Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2009 01:15:52 +0200 Message-ID: <87ocsh41qv.fsf@bzg.ath.cx> References: <64bfe3d50906210417q125b27a7nc2601f23a3f7104a@mail.gmail.com> <19006.35486.546905.349039@pinto.chemeng.ucl.ac.uk> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Return-path: Received: from mailman by lists.gnu.org with tmda-scanned (Exim 4.43) id 1MIWGd-0005E4-Hd for emacs-orgmode@gnu.org; Sun, 21 Jun 2009 19:16:07 -0400 Received: from exim by lists.gnu.org with spam-scanned (Exim 4.43) id 1MIWGY-00058b-CQ for emacs-orgmode@gnu.org; Sun, 21 Jun 2009 19:16:07 -0400 Received: from [199.232.76.173] (port=54644 helo=monty-python.gnu.org) by lists.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.43) id 1MIWGY-00058Y-4c for emacs-orgmode@gnu.org; Sun, 21 Jun 2009 19:16:02 -0400 Received: from mail-ew0-f220.google.com ([209.85.219.220]:44939) by monty-python.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.60) (envelope-from ) id 1MIWGX-0000Ap-QI for emacs-orgmode@gnu.org; Sun, 21 Jun 2009 19:16:01 -0400 Received: by ewy20 with SMTP id 20so994993ewy.42 for ; Sun, 21 Jun 2009 16:16:00 -0700 (PDT) In-Reply-To: <19006.35486.546905.349039@pinto.chemeng.ucl.ac.uk> (Eric S.
