New modeline

Closed this issue · 5 comments

Although the new modeline is fantastic, it requires the icons from all-the-icons installed to work, am I right?

Maybe it should be made optional, or there should be something that suggests to user to configure the icons.

Just a thought :)

The package all-the-icons should be installed as a dependency when you
install zerodark. Isn't it the case?

Yes, but the icons must be installed in order to appear in the command line.

In my case, I just put them in ~/.fonts and ran fc-cache -fv. After that, they were correctly displayed in the modeline.

From all-the-icons README:

However, in order for the icons to work you will need to install the Resource Fonts included in this package, they are available in the fonts directory.

Hmm, weird, I didn't have to do anything.

Ok, I see now, the fonts were already installed on my system.
Do you want to update the README?

Sure, I'll do it and open a PR. :)
