Mu4e Column faces

This package provides a minor mode that allows using individual faces for the columns in mu4e’s email overview.

Example

Before: img/before.png

After: img/after.png

Before: img/before-light.png

After: img/after-light.png

Installation

mu4e-column-faces is available on Melpa. Download it with the package manager of your choice and then simply enable mu4e-column-faces-mode after mu4e was loaded:

(use-package mu4e-column-faces
  :after mu4e
  :config (mu4e-column-faces-mode))

or

(with-eval-after-load 'mu4e
  (mu4e-column-faces-mode))

Configuration

The various faces are all named after the headers in mu4e-header-info, e.g. mu4e-column-faces-date.

There are two options that can be set:

  • mu4e-column-faces-custom-column-handler is function that can be used to handle custom columns.
  • mu4e-column-faces-adjust-face is a function that can be used to further customize columns’ faces.

This package does not seem to have an impact on performance. If you want to make sure for your own setup you can set mu4e-headers-report-render-time to t and compare the render times with and without mu4e-column-faces-mode.
