Enable a lighter and faster, but less featureful, version of the modeline that does not depend on doom-modeline.

No hacks documented for this module.

I rarely need to know what minor modes are active, so I removed them. M-x doom/describe-active-minor-mode was written to substitute for it.

The consensus is: this is due to oversized icons, i.e. a font issue. Some possible solutions:

1. Tweak all-the-icons-scale-factor (1.2 by default): (setq all-the-icons-scale-factor 1.1)

2. Add some padding to the modeline definition:

   # ⎘

   (after! doom-modeline
     (doom-modeline-def-modeline 'main
       '(bar matches buffer-info remote-host buffer-position parrot selection-info)
       '(misc-info minor-modes checker input-method buffer-encoding major-mode process vcs "  "))) ; <-- added padding here
   

3. Use another font for the mode line (or a different :height):

   # ⎘

   (custom-set-faces!
     '(mode-line :family "Noto Sans" :height 0.9)
     '(mode-line-inactive :family "Noto Sans" :height 0.9))
   

   (Mentioned in #1680, #278 and seagle0128/doom-modeline#334)

4. Change the width of icon characters in char-width-table:

   # ⎘

   (add-hook! 'doom-modeline-mode-hook
     (let ((char-table char-width-table))
       (while (setq char-table (char-table-parent char-table)))
       (dolist (pair doom-modeline-rhs-icons-alist)
         (let ((width 2)  ; <-- tweak this
   	    (chars (cdr pair))
   	    (table (make-char-table nil)))
   	(dolist (char chars)
   	  (set-char-table-range table char width))
   	(optimize-char-table table)
   	(set-char-table-parent table char-table)
   	(setq char-width-table table)))))
   

   If this doesn’t help, try different values for width such as 1 or 3.
