Module flags

+light

Enable a lighter, less featureful version of the modeline that does not depend on doom-package:doom-modeline, which has performances issues in some cases.

Packages

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.

Icons in my modeline look strange

1. Check whether nerd-icons are installed. Run M-x nerd-icons-install-fonts to install the resource fonts. Note that nerd-icons only support GUI. See nerd-icons for details.

2. cnfonts will conflict with nerd-icons. You can refer the following workaround:

   ;; See https://github.com/seagle0128/doom-modeline/issues/278#issuecomment-569510336
   ;; Add to $DOOMDIR/packages.el
   (package! cnfonts)
   ;; Add to $DOOMDIR/config.el
   (add-hook 'after-setting-font-hook #'cnfonts-set-font)

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. Add some padding to the modeline definition:

   (with-eval-after-load 'doom-modeline
     (doom-modeline-def-modeline 'main
       '(bar matches buffer-info remote-host buffer-position parrot selection-info)
       '(misc-info minor-modes check input-method buffer-encoding major-mode process vcs "  "))) ; <-- added padding here

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

   (custom-set-faces!
     '(mode-line :family "Noto Sans" :height 0.9)
     '(mode-line-inactive :family "Noto Sans" :height 0.9))

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

1. Change the width of icon characters in char-width-table:

   (add-hook! 'doom-modeline-mode-hook
     (let ((char-table char-width-table))
       (while (setq char-table (char-table-parent char-table)))
       (dolist (pair doom-modeline-rhs-icons-alist)
         (let ((width 2)  ; <-- tweak this
               (chars (cdr pair))
               (table (make-char-table nil)))
           (dolist (char chars)
             (set-char-table-range table char width))
           (optimize-char-table table)
           (set-char-table-parent table char-table)
           (setq char-width-table table)))))

   If this doesn't help, try different values for width such as width 1 or width 3.
