Gnus can display picons for you as you enter and leave groups and articles. It knows how to interact with three sections of the picons database. Namely, it can display the picons newsgroup pictures, author's face picture(s), and the authors domain. To enable this feature, you need to select where to get the picons from, and where to display them.
gnus-picons-database
gnus-picons-piconsearch-url
is nil
. Defaults to
`/usr/local/faces/'.
gnus-picons-piconsearch-url
nil
'the default), then picons are fetched from local
database indicated by gnus-picons-database
.
gnus-picons-display-where
picons
by
default (which by default maps to the buffer `*Picons*'). Other
valid places could be article
, summary
, or
`*scratch*' for all I care. Just make sure that you've made the
buffer visible using the standard Gnus window configuration
routines---see section 8.5 Window Layout.
gnus-picons-group-excluded-groups
Note: If you set gnus-use-picons
to t
, it will set up your
window configuration for you to include the picons
buffer.
Now that you've made those decision, you need to add the following functions to the appropriate hooks so these pictures will get displayed at the right time.
gnus-article-display-picons
gnus-picons-display-where
buffer.
gnus-picons-article-display-x-face
x-face
is used in the function name, not xface
