different faces

Question

different faces

Closed this issue a year ago · 7 comments

Can the project.el part and imenu part have different faces (as they represent different things in most languages)

This would be great! Currently I'm using

(setq-default mode-line-format
                (cl-subst '(:eval (propertize (breadcrumb-project-crumbs)
                                              'face '(:inherit variable-pitch
                                                      :weight bold)))
                          'mode-line-buffer-identification
                          (default-value 'mode-line-format)))

but it would be great if I could just modify a face for performance reasons.

"performance reasons"?

"performance reasons"?

I mean, the only practical difference between the code I wrote and having a dedicated face that you don't have to call propertize each time the modeline is updated.

Hmmm, but you understand it's being called anyway right? Are you worried between an extra propertize call in a million propertize's? I don't think this is measurable

Supplying these extra faces is fine though, I just don't have time to implement it properly right now.

I added lots of faces in a recent commit. Please have a look.

Yes this is great thanks!
