* Description
This module provides an Atom-inspired, minimalistic modeline for Doom Emacs,
powered by [[https://github.com/seagle0128/doom-modeline][the doom-modeline package]] (where you can find screenshots).

** Module Flags
+ =+light= Enables a lighter, less featureful version of the modeline that does
  not depend on ~doom-modeline~, which has performances issues in some cases.

** Plugins
+ [[https://github.com/seagle0128/doom-modeline][doom-modeline]]
+ [[https://github.com/syohex/emacs-anzu][anzu]]

* Prerequisites
This module has no prerequisites.

* Usage
** TODO Hiding the modeline

** TODO Switching the modeline and header line

* Configuration
** TODO Changing the default modeline

** TODO Activating a format

** TODO Defining a modeline format

** TODO Defining a modeline segment

** TODO Extracting Doom's modeline into your config

* Troubleshooting
** Where are my minor modes?
I rarely need to know what minor modes are active, so I removed them. ~M-x
doom/describe-active-minor-mode~ was written to substitute for it.

** TODO Icons in my modeline look strange
** TODO The right side of the modeline is cut off
I believe the consensus is: this is due to oversized icons, i.e. a font issue. Some possible solutions:

1. Tweak ~all-the-icons-scale-factor~ (1.2 by default): ~(setq
   all-the-icons-scale-factor 1.1)~

2. Add some padding to the modeline definition:

    #+BEGIN_SRC elisp
    (after! doom-modeline
      (doom-modeline-def-modeline 'main
        '(bar matches buffer-info remote-host buffer-position parrot selection-info)
        '(misc-info minor-modes checker input-method buffer-encoding major-mode process vcs "  "))) ; <-- added padding here
    #+END_SRC

3. Use another font for the mode line (or a different ~:height~) (source)

    #+BEGIN_SRC elisp
    (custom-set-faces!
      '(mode-line :family "Noto Sans" :height 0.9)
      '(mode-line-inactive :family "Noto Sans" :height 0.9))
    #+END_SRC

(Mentioned in #1680, #278 and seagle0128/doom-modeline#334)
