Improvements to Selected Window Accent
Given my previous post regarding accenting the current window:
[Selected Window Accent]({{< ref "/emacs/20231221210441-emacs--Selected-Window-Accent.md" >}})"This routine provides a coloured left fringe accent on the selected window to emphasize the current working window."
I had a little issue with visual-fill-column-mode in that :
Note that I also had to set the margins to make the window traversal less visually disturbing and it seems to affect
visual-fill-column-modein the fact that it doesn't work, but maybe I can just try and not use it or eventually figure it out, but for now this is a starting point and I'm sure I will refine it over time.
With some trial and error the issue was that my new accent routine applied margins that overrode visual-fill-column-mode, causing display issues on window navigation.
So to fix I just re-activated visual-fill-column-mode if it was active.
(defun selected-window-accent () (interactive) (set-face-background 'fringe "#77002e") (walk-windows (lambda (window) (if (eq window (selected-window)) (progn (set-window-margins window 1 0) (with-selected-window window (if (eq visual-fill-column-mode t) (visual-fill-column-mode t))) (set-window-fringes window 10 0 t nil)) (progn (set-window-margins window 2 0) (with-selected-window window (if (eq visual-fill-column-mode t) (visual-fill-column-mode t))) (set-window-fringes window 0 0 t nil)) ) ) nil t))
