reloading

[BrianHicks]

hey there. I'm just starting out with customizing my modeline and having to restart emacs every time. I've heard that's bad. Is there a way I can try out different configurations of telephone-line without restarting the whole editor?

You can customize telephone-line while running (you can use customize or just set values in ielm if you know what you're doing, or if you want to test your config as it is you can reload it), however because of the way telephone-line precompiles its configuration, your changes will only apply to new buffers.

this was the tip I needed, thank you! 😄
