[climacs-devel] Question about the info-pane display function

[Troels Henriksen]

The display-function for the info-pane/modeline,
climacs-gui::display-info, is very simple, and seems to be a bit
hackish as well (as far as I can see, text for overwrite-mode,
fill-mode and isearch-mode is hard-coded in the function). Is this
simplicity by design, or is it merely a placeholder until something
more flexible can be put in place? If the latter is the case, is
anyone working on it? If not, I might be able to lend a hand, since it
doesn't seem to require all kinds of arcane knowledge about CLIM. :-)

It should be simple enough to implement some kind of format-string
system, where the order (and amount) of information in the pane can be
customized by changing the string, until something like GNU Emacs'
`mode-line-format'-variable and semantics can be developed.

What is your input on this?
