Full description

Mode lighters are indicator that make us aware that a mode is enabled. This is helpful, but when there are too many of them, it becomes a problem, because often lighters with the important information gets truncated due to the non-important lighters. So we blow them, and they are usually the lighters of the important, perhaps indispensible, modes for you, so that you can see and focus on what matters.

1. Usage

Using this package is simple:

;; Enable `blow-mode'.
(blow-mode +1)

;; Blow the lighter of `gcmh-mode'.
(blow 'gcmh-mode)

;; Change the lighter of `eldoc-mode' to `ELispDoc' (with a preceding
;; space to differentiate from other lighters.
(blow 'eldoc-mode " ElispDoc")

;; Show the lighter of `paredit-mode' unless the major mode is
;; `emacs-lisp-mode'.
(blow 'paredit-mode '(:eval (unless (eq major-mode 'emacs-lisp-mode)
			      (blow-original-lighter 'paredit-mode))))

;; Revert `eldoc-mode' lighter.
(blow-revert 'eldoc-mode)

Or, if you prefer customizing variable, set blow-mode-list from custom, or customize it from your init file like the following:

;; You can also use `setq', but you would need to reenable `blow-mode'
;; for changes to effect.
(customize-set-variable
 blow-mode-list

 ;; Blow the lighter of `gcmh-mode'.
 '((gcmh-mode nil)

   ;; Change the lighter of `eldoc-mode' to `ELispDoc' (with a
   ;; preceding space to differentiate from other lighters.
   (eldoc-mode " ElispDoc")

   ;; Show the lighter of `paredit-mode' unless the major mode is
   ;; `emacs-lisp-mode'.
   (paredit-mode (:eval (unless (eq major-mode 'emacs-lisp-mode)
			  (blow-original-lighter 'paredit-mode))))))

;; Enable mode to take effect.
(blow-mode +1)
