[Package shout-out] All-the-icons-ivy-rich is awesome

Okay, this looks cute, Now I too, have cute icons.

https://github.com/iyefrat/all-the-icons-completion

how do you use graphical and colored icons instead of monochrome?

Here's the config I have. It might also depend on the theme you're using (I'm using doom-palenight in this screenshot): ``` (use-package all-the-icons :if (display-graphic-p) :config (setq all-the-icons-scale-factor 0.8)) (use-package all-the-icons-ivy-rich :after counsel-projectile :init (all-the-icons-ivy-rich-mode +1) :config (setq all-the-icons-ivy-rich-icon-size 0.8)) (use-package ivy-rich :after all-the-icons-ivy-rich :init (ivy-rich-mode +1)) ```

It is beautiful... But it makes TRAMP unusable

Thanks!

This whole setup is amazing. Do you have a link to your dotfiles?

Thx for sharing dude.

When did Emacs users become so concerned about eye candy? Yeah I know, long time since.

Here you go: [https://github.com/ianyepan/.wsl-emacs.d](https://github.com/ianyepan/.wsl-emacs.d) And here for an unopinionated literate config I maintain: [https://github.com/ianyepan/yay-evil-emacs](https://github.com/ianyepan/yay-evil-emacs)

>All-the-icons-ivy-rich The package I showed in the screenshot is actually this one though: https://github.com/seagle0128/all-the-icons-ivy-rich

Fancy. Any way to make it work with helm?

Maybe related, maybe not: do the icons actually help tho? It is visual clutter for me so I would like to know how it helps other people. (I also don't understand how some terminal users go to great lengths just for eye-candy, but that's another topic.)

u/yep808 good setup and I copied some from yours :-) ... BTW any specific reason to use neotree instead of treemacs. It looks like un-maintained for a while now

That side panel isn't neotree... Or is it?

It is neotree, with some configuration.

Are you using VcXsrv in WSL or a different X server. Asking because I think my company will be forcing me back into Windows soon and I want a stable setup.

As I don’t use ivy, this is what I was hoping to find in the comments :)

Actually, I don't have a specific reason. I started out using neotree and it's always worked fine so I just stuck with it :-)

>VcXsrv Yup, VcXsrv definitely the best (and free) solution I've come across

And why I like the completing-read solutions. There's some great innovations now.

Wow your Emacs rice seems nice....but windblows?

>windblows I don't get it?

>so I would like to know how it helps other people. Kinda like decorating your room, I guess. Since I'm spending so much time in Emacs anyways.

Nice one! Thanx for this!

That analogy finally makes things clear. I wasnt ever the person who cared about aesthetics of his room as long as it was relatively clean.

Tell me more.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by this?

this package significantly decrease my emacs performance
