rougier / sideframe Goto Github PK

Can you please add some screenshots? It is better to see what you are about to install. Thanks

What I did :

Clone this repo under emacs.d

load alist into dot emacs file

start the daemon and it throw the error with make sideframe void error

copied out the stuff , i.e 3 lines in the readme did the above .

This package might be OS dependent, or have OS dependent features. I tried the most basic thing out I could think of, and have not seen any child frames.

I loaded and invoked sideframe as follows:

(use-package sideframe
  :load-path "site-lisp/sideframe/")

(sideframe-make 'left 32)

These were done in *scratch* and then line evaluated. The response in *Messages* is as follows:

nil
#<frame GNU Emacs at WIC-USL03372 000002af5fd94d60>

So it THINKS it created a frame, however no frame has showed up, or ... I imagine there's a lot of other possibilities (invisible, stacked and anchored behind, etc). I know the frame creation variables are a little hinky on Windows depending on how the program is invoked and sometimes they work in one context and don't in others so I'm not wildly surprised. Might be something that only really works on *nix systems though I guess. Unfortunate, I wanted speed bar as a child frame.

I just installed this on emacs 29.1, arch linux, everything updated.
Basic Setup:

(require 'sideframe)

(sideframe-make 'right 32 'dark)

I tried manually setting background and forground to colors, or setting background-mode to 'dark, but that didn't help.
I'm using ef-themes (ef-duo-light/dark), if that matters. I tried others, and that didn't change this.

Edit:
Upon Inspecting Nano Theme, i added (setq background-mode frame-background-mode) as other themes don't seem to set this.
Now i'm running into void-function (setf quote) where i can't even tell where it's from. This doesn't appear as a line here or in any theme.
