A new implementation of Powerline for Emacs

Telephone Line

For more information on how to get those screenshots, check out the examples.

Features

Telephone Line is a new implementation of Powerline for emacs with (optional) baked-in evil support, antialiased separators, and an easy configuration language which makes it trivial to write your own themes. Additionally, I dogfood the hell out of it so bugfixes should come quickly. It’s also named after a song which is what I always look for in software.

Installation

The easiest way to install telephone-line is with package.el through NonGNU ELPA or MELPA. Once you have the package installed, initializing it is the usual stuff:

(require 'telephone-line)
(telephone-line-mode 1)

abs

cubed

identity

sin

halfsin

cos

halfcos

tan

gradient

There is also a perfectly flat vertical separator, telephone-line-flat, though there’s not much to look at here ;)

Configuration

First, remember that all configuration must be done before calling (telephone-line-mode 1)

Segments can be added by configuring the telephone-line-lhs and telephone-line-rhs variables. Example configuration demonstrating the format can be found in ./examples.org, and available segments are in ./telephone-line-segments.el. You can also make your own!

Separators are chosen by configuring telephone-line-primary-left-separator, telephone-line-primary-right-separator, telephone-line-secondary-left-separator, and telephone-line-secondary-right-separator. Available separators are in ./telephone-line-separators.el. You can also make your own!

You can force the height of the mode-line by setting telephone-line-height.

If you want to further information on configuration or creating your own segments/separators, continue on to ./configuration.org!
