+;;; modeline.el --- Customize my mode-line -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
+
+;; Author: William Carroll <wpcarro@gmail.com>
+;; Version: 0.0.1
+;; Package-Requires: ((emacs "25.1"))
+
+;;; Commentary:
+;; Because I use EXWM, I treat my Emacs mode-line like my system bar: I need to
+;; quickly check the system time, and I expect it to be at the bottom-right of
+;; my Emacs frame.  I used doom-modeline for awhile, which is an impressive
+;; package, but it conditionally colorizes on the modeline for the active
+;; buffer.  So if my bottom-right window is inactive, I cannot see the time.
+;;
+;; My friend, @tazjin, has a modeline setup that I think is more compatible with
+;; EXWM, so I'm going to base my setup off of his.
