Vertical alignment of overview and contents buffer #1

Closed suvayu closed 10 years ago

suvayu commented 10 years ago

The overview and contents buffer are always in the middle of the buffer vertically. I would expect it to have been at the top of the buffer like normal Emacs buffers. I have attached a screenshot to show what I'm saying. Can this be addressed?

This looks like a great library, I think I will use it when I'm working on large screens. Thank you!

Dear suvayu, thank you for your feedback. I've added a option to choose between horizontal and vertical split, but only concerning the overview and the contents buffer. I hope that this is what you meant. Splitting all windows horizontally would not be very wise concerning the free space on a screen. Looking at your screenshot, I suggest, that you customize a bit the colors according to your theme, for example, normally the visible part of the show all buffer is highlighted in the other two buffers.

May I ask you if you've got ideas to improve the code? I'm new to programming (i'm a musician) and appreciate help very much. Greets

I think that suvayu meant that the text should be at the top, and not in the middle, of the OVERVIEW and CONTENTS buffers.

Sorry for the delayed response. @brabalan is right, I meant the overview and contents buffer should be aligned at the top, as in, if it is small the white space is below the text not above it. That said, I think the feature you added could be useful for smaller screens. Now I might consider using it even on my tiny thinkpad! :)

oh, ok. I thought, that this is a feature which gives some clarity. I added a option in customize to opt-out the centering of the text. Further changed a lot of other stuff (now the panes restore themselfs if switched back to the buffer (this is customizable)) and improved the performance by roughly a factor of 100 (the overlays are now only redrawn, when the visible headings in the show all buffer significantly change, and not after every command).
