Simple, beautiful Emacs modeline: modusregel

modusregel is a minimal, visually clean Emacs modeline package designed to complement the Modus themes, offering a simple and beautiful alternative to default modeline configurations.

Background

- Emacs is a powerful, decades-old text editor popular with programmers and writers; it's highly customizable, especially through its package ecosystem.<br>- The "modeline" (or "mode line") is the status bar at the bottom of each Emacs window — it typically shows things like the file name, mode, and cursor position, but its default look is often considered ugly or cluttered.<br>- Modus themes (by Protesilaos Stavrou) are a famous pair of highly accessible, carefully designed color themes for Emacs (one light, one dark). Many users consider them the gold standard for readability and aesthetics.<br>- **modusregel** ("modus rule") is a new, intentionally minimal modeline package built to visually match the Modus themes, offering a cleaner, more beautiful status line that integrates perfectly with that color scheme.
