Helping you make your agenda more elegant

elegant-agenda-mode

elegant-agenda-mode aims to utilize typography to make org-agenda elegant and easy to read.

Examples

elegant-agenda-mode works well with custom agenda commands. For example with a command labeled as today, it will apply spacing based on category and use the agenda label as a header for the view.

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(("d" "Today"
         ((tags-todo "SCHEDULED<\"<+1d>\"&PRIORITY=\"A\""
                     ((org-agenda-skip-function
                       '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'todo 'done))
                      (org-agenda-overriding-header "High-priority unfinished tasks:")))
          (agenda "" ((org-agenda-span 'day)
                      (org-scheduled-delay-days -14)
                      (org-agenda-overriding-header "Schedule")))
          (tags-todo "SCHEDULED<\"<+1d>\""
                     ((org-agenda-skip-function
                       '(or (org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'done)
                            (air-org-skip-subtree-if-priority ?A)))
                      (org-agenda-overriding-header "Tasks:")))))))

It works equally as well with a base agenda view.

Font

elegant-agenda-mode was designed to with Yanone Kaffeesatz in mind. However, if you prefer to use a different font you can set it with `elegant-agenda-font`

(setq elegant-agenda-font "Some other font")

If your alternative font is monospaced and your tags aren’t being aligned properly, you can set `elegant-agenda-is-mono-font` and elegant-agenda will realign tags manually.

(setq elegant-agenda-is-mono-font 't)
