Hi, in the past two weeks I have been working on a new org minor mode based on org-bullets. Much like org-bullets-mode, the new mode (dubbed "org-superstar-mode" for the time being) visually replaces headline stars with UTF8 bullets. However, while I took the code of org-bullets as an initial template, I have largely rewritten the code base for lots of additional features, including:
* The ability to fully customize the look of plain list items as well. * Contextual sensitivity (meaning lists and headings are recognized semantically, so org-superstar-mode ignores false positives in for example SRC blocks) * level-dependent fontification for bullets * The ability to customize the look of leading stars, while respecting org-hide-leading-stars. However, since the mode still contains code snippets from org-bullets, I have tried to contact the original author (sabof) of the package in the hopes of getting an official approval before making the thing public. The problem with /that/ however is that the author has been inactive for several years now, with the package being maintained by Jonas Bernoulli, who I did not yet contact. So, before going any further, I wanted to first ask whether there is any community interest in such a package. As an addendum, an excerpt from the description of the yet-to-be package: ;; This package is heavily influenced by (and uses snippets from) the ;; popular package "org-bullets", created by sabof. It was made with ;; the goal of inheriting features the author liked about org-bullets ;; while being able to introduce compatibility-breaking changes to it. ;; It is largely rewritten, to the point of almost no function being ;; identical to it's org-bullets counterpart.
