Re: [O] Problem with org-clock-display
Hmm. Okay. It might be a good idea to have org-clock-shadow or something, so it can be customised separately. I might want to hide the dots, but still have shadow as a useable face.

Re: [O] Problem with org-clock-display
I guess Sebastien's point is that without a custom face, the only way to turn the dots off is to set the shadow face to be hidden. But that could have unintended side-effects. So if there's no custom face, then there should be a config so that people can turn it off without having to deal with those side-effects.

Re: [O] Problem with org-clock-display
Thanks for this! I've seen your comments on the time cookie thread. But I will pull the org-clock-display comments here. So, I have your changes locally, and I have a few comments. A folded node looks like this: * Node 02:10 ... I was wondering if the bit can be hidden. Is there a font face to customise for this? I find it distracting, especially with a big list of folded nodes. The only problem then is: how do I match the times up with the nodes. I guess this is the problem I was trying to solve with the clock cookies. One option would be to highlight the time with a new face when the point is on a node. Not sure about this though. If the above is possible, then would it be possible to move that ... (after the clock total) to the left-hand side, so that it looks like this: * Node... 02:10 i.e. What it normally looks like. Only with a 02:10 on the right hand side. The only other thing I'd want to change is the alignment of the times. So right now, we have: 2d 18:10 7:30 11:32 (For instance.) It would be great if these could be aligned so that: - The : ran down the middle (single column) - The hours were zero padded, so it was 07 and not 7 - There was some padding for days i.e. If there are no days, you add the space necessary so that the clock time aligns with other nodes that have days. Not sure how to calculate this. Perhaps it's possible to calculate the max clock value before display, and pad everything to the width of that. One radical alternative to all of the above: Remove the ... stuff. Don't align the times. Just stick them right after the node text, like a cookie.

Re: [O] Problem with org-clock-display
Huh, this is *very* cool. Thank you. Now I need to solve the problem of being able to tie the node to the clock-display. (If there's a big list, then it's hard to visually match them.) I think I recall a minor mode that highlighted the current line your point is on. That would fix it. But then, it would be nice if that worked with my mouse too. Any ideas? I think unless there's an obvious way to solve this, that it might actually make sense to have the ... bit visible by default, and provide an option to turn it off for people who don't mind the way it looks.

Re: [O] Problem with org-clock-display
Ah, sorry. So what I mean is, if you have a long list of lines like this: * A5:10 ... * B8:40 ... * C2:50 ... Then it is a bit tricky to see what time is clocked for, say, B. It is easy above because there are only three nodes. But if you have 20 nodes, it gets tricky. So my thinking was that previously the bits helped to guide your eye across. But I am not so sure, you know. Because if you have 20 of those in a row, it's not really helping much. * A ... 5:10 ... * B ... 8:40 ... * C ... 2:50 ... Again, this is easy when you just have three. But you have 20 in a row, it's hard to follow. So my idea was to use something like ln-line (thanks!) to show you where you are. Then I can just navigate around the nodes, and it is obvious what time matches up to what node. Bit I'm wondering if you have any better ideas. Or, given the readability problems, it makes sense to display the ... bits by default. (Though I am not sure that they are actually much more readable.) This is one of the reasons I suggested an alternative approach: do not align the times to the right at all, just stick them right next to the node titles, like so: * Apple 5:10 ... * Bananas 8:40 ... * Carrots 2:50 ... As you can see, the times wont line up then, but matching them to the node titles is easy.
