Because Unicode seems to take some time to load(about a sec). It would be nice if I can replace minor modes with bitmap. Also if bitmap is available there would be a huge possibility in the replacement.

BTW the stable mepla shield in README is broken.

Subj.

In my condition, I fetch minor mode names from minor-mode-alist (Yes, my purpose is to hide all the minor mode names from mode line). However, I find some minor modes add their names to minor-mode-alist after Dim definitions. Even if I use after-init-hook, there are also some minor mode names staying unchanged because they are added afterwards. So, how do I fetch the whole list of minor-mode-alist? (Load dim as late as possible?)

(defun dim-hook ()
  (mapc (lambda (mm) (dim-minor-name (car mm) "")) minor-mode-alist))
(add-hook 'after-init-hook 'dim-hook)

btw. Can I achieve my purpose using just (setq 'minor-mode-alist nil) though it is quite rechless?

Thanks,
Isaac

I wanted to try out Dim to compare it to Delight which I've been using previously, and I really quote like the syntax for it. I am however having a problem, I have my configuration in a org file that I tangle to a init.el. In text files I have auto-fill-mode automatically activate and in Org files org-indent-mode activate. Dim successfully changes the name of auto-fill-mode to " F" when opening a Org file, and I want to hide org-indent-mode too but it doesn't hide it when loading into org-mode files. Manually running C-x C-e on (dim-minor-name 'org-indent-mode "") hides it, but not when opening the file. Any ideas? Delight does this correct.

Hi,

Thanks for developing this package.

I use rich-minority along with smart-mode-line to take care of abbreviating/hiding the minor mode lighter names.

I have heard of the cyphejor package via this Emacs.SE post which does the job of abbreviating the major mode names automatically/manually.

How would you compare this package with rich-minority and cyphejor?

Also feel free to add an answer to that Emacs.SE question suggesting the use of this package as it seems fit.

In emacs 29 I get

Is this a wrong assumption in emacs/cc-cmds.el or dim being hacky?

In the About section: https://github.com/alezost/dim.el#about
In the second sentence:

This is an alternative to delight package (see Why? section below).

The text: delight links to:

http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/delight.el
It leads to an emacswiki page that says:

delight.el
This page does not exist, but you can create it now.

I'm not sure what the url should point to.
This seems to be the repositories source:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/delight.git/

But in this dim.el repositories, README.org, Why? section, there is a link with the text delight that leads to:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/DelightedModes

The other readme.org links work, except for the already reported Why? link.
Fix why? link in README #1

updated:
I find it. Sorry for this stupid question ：)
original:
Hi, could you explain the usage? I get confused about the example you showed in the readme.

(dim-major-names
 '((emacs-lisp-mode           "EL") ; **need to add mode name?**
   (inferior-emacs-lisp-mode  "EL>")
   (calendar-mode             "📆")))
(dim-minor-names
 '((visual-line-mode   " ↩") ; **do we need add mode name here?**
   (auto-fill-function " ↵")
   (eldoc-mode         ""    eldoc)
   (whitespace-mode    " _"  whitespace)
   (paredit-mode       " ()" paredit))) ; **why we add mode name here?**

When need we add mode names? And can we edit the mode names?

Thank you :)
