available width works with :box

[hans-d]

Together with #18, and using :box (:line-width -8 :color ,nano-dark-background) this allows for a small gap between the modeline and the body of the text. Eg when using org mode with a lot of SRC blocks it is more distinct.

I've rewrote the main function for rendering the headher line but I haven't pushed yet. I'll first commit my changes and then I will integrate your PR If it's still relevant.

[hans-d]

still relevant, updated code against latest master

Sorry, Im' late. Coudl you post a screenshot before / after?

after:

Together with #18 and something like

  (defun my/nano-modeline--clearance-tweaks ()
    (seq-do (lambda(elt)
              (set-face-attribute elt nil
                        :box `(:line-width -8 :color ,nano-dark-background)))
            (seq-filter (lambda(elt)
                          (string-prefix-p "nano-modeline-" (symbol-name elt)))
                        (face-list))))

will make it clear the available width calculation is off

combination of fixes and local customization:

Now I get it and I realized I never understood negative linewidth boxed before. Can you rebase your PR?

[hans-d]

rebased

[rougier]

Merged. I've pushed some small adjustments as well.
