If you want to change the "look" of the org-headlines. Does one really need to change the code? I have been using Nicolas Girard's org-icons package for quite a while. And that makes org-buffers look pretty nice. You can even customise the icons, to make it look the way you want. However, some things about the org-icons package... It seems to be a little outdated. Are there many org-moders out there still using it? Were there ever any plans to include it in the org-distribution? Right now it needs to be installed by hand, because the patch to org.el is outdated... Also, I need to load it two times in my .emacs before the icons work... Ciao, Renzo The org-icons can be found here: Download from Nicolas Girard's github http://github.com/ngirard/org-icons On the Worg site I could only find screenshots, no other information... http://orgmode.org/worg/org-screenshots.html The list-message announcement for org-icons http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3c87zl2962um.fsf%40stats.ox.ac.uk%3e And some list-messages discussing including the org-icons-patch into org-mode http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3c87zlbx3kvf.fsf%40kassiopeya.MSHEIMNETZ%3e
