Consider using SVG modelines

[bgamari]

Using something like [svg-mode-line-themes]https://github.com/sabof/svg-mode-line-themes) might be an alternative to the current rather fragile situation.

If by fragile you mean the mess in master branch regarding the powerline then it is not fragile anymore. @TheBB wrote a clean API on top of powerline in develop branch to be able to define segments and compose them into a nice to the eyes mode-line.

As long as we're considering the possibility, I have to say these examples are just aesthetically terrible. But I'm someone who actually disables power line and uses the emacs modeline, so...

The bars are OK, the font styles not so much.
To be able to support SVG modelines we'll need to support them with the segments.

I also dislike the aesthetics of the themes offered by the package. It was the general idea that I was proposing.

This is a fairly old discussion so I'm closing it now. If this is still desired the correct place to report would be to the spaceline repo. Thanks!
