(4) How to make the message-bar more professional?
Like Emanuel, i'm not sure what you mean by "more professional",
though it seems to me "more professional" is very
subjective. However, i do find the default mode-line to be too
cluttered - particularly with information not useful to me - and
so i've set the value of `mode-line-format' roughly like so (i use
vertical bars to visually separate mode-line 'fields'):
[read-only marker, if appropriate]
[buffer-modified marker, if appropriate]
buffer-name
|
buffer coding system
([EOL type if not Unix])
|
major mode
([mode-specific info, e.g. away status when using ERC])
|
line,column / [position of point as percentage of buffer]
|
[word count, when appropriate]
|
moon phase
|
hebrew date
|
Works For Me. :-)
