el-patch VS emacs-dashboard

I also tweak that function for similar reasons. I personally use el-patch for that: https://github.com/radian-software/el-patch. This way, at least we can ensure our redefinition does not get out of step with the original. Anyway, I also find it hard to do otherwise, because we need the match data at the correct point, so just advising the function becomes tricky.

Check out el-patch--if I understand what you're trying to do, it's designed for exactly this use case!

Yeah and even in personal config one could use el-patch[1], to make monkeypatching future proof.

Speaking for myself, I have a lot of (use-package some-package :config (defun some-package-function-I-want-to-override (...) ...)) in my config file, which works well enough to override package definitions. In case you don't use use-package, then (eval-after-load 'some-package '(defun ...)) also works. I also use a lot of advice. Although I don't use it, https://github.com/raxod502/el-patch provides a more structured approach to patching definitions using a novel sexpy patch format.

Niagara takes a configuration file that specifies what the user wants to happen, and then deploys it! I will show an example configuration, and how to use it below. json { "packages": [ "feh", "doas", "picom" ], "config": [ { "option": "wallpaper", "val": "https://github.com/emacs-dashboard/emacs-dashboard/raw/master/banners/emacs.png" }, { "option": "dotfile", "val": [ "https://github.com/kavulox/nvim", "https://github.com/kavulox/picom" ] } ] }

When I'm opening Emacs, I normally want it to display my dashboard. But if I'm opening a file, I just want it to jump straight to the file and not waste time showing the dashboard.

This would be similar to what ace-link does, except that ace-link doesn't work with dashboard, and it uses Avy style keys for selection instead of numbers.

This feature is largely inspired by dashboard, but is implemented differently. Please make a bug report if you encounter any unexpected behaviours.

I got bored by my previous theme and I wanted something new, so I went ahead and made my first theme. It’s based on my current Emacs configuration (you can find a screenshot at the beginning of the page) and especially on the aesthetics of the dashboard package, the Doom Nord theme as well as the Doom modeline.

A good dashboard
