Improve track bar appearance #254

Closed jdz closed 8 years ago

jdz commented 8 years ago

Currently the display of track bar is sub-optimal -- it is fixed width and does not work well with time-stamps.

Instead of using a set width of space with strike-through face, use background color on a newline -- this way Emacs fills the whole buffer width with the face's background color. The height of the line can be customized by setting the face height value to a fraction. This trick also works on TTY.

A note should probably be added to changelog to avoid user confusion when they discover the track bar is no longer visible.

Ahh, simplification, very nice! Thank you :-)
