As it is written, that is space then macs.
To declare new packages you have to create a new configuration layer, see the quick start guide.
Install the default font supported by Spacemacs or choose a fixed width font. More information in the font section of the documentation.
Use the property :powerline-scale of the variable
dotspacemacs-default-font. See font section of the documentation for more details.
Emacs powerline uses XMP images to draw the separators in a graphical
environment. You can have anti-aliasing if you use the utf8 separator.
Note that by default the utf8 separator is used in a terminal.
See the powerline section in the font section of the documentation.
Don’t launch Spacemacs with emacs -q -l init.el command. This command will
run the hooked function in after-init-hook before the evaluation of the
passed -l init.el file.
The distribution concept was introduced in 0.104.x. You can now choose
between two distributions spacemacs or spacemacs-base.
spacemacs-base contains only a minimal set of packages; whereas spacemacs
is the full Spacemacs experience.
Set the distribution with dotspacemacs-distribution variable. The default is
spacemacs. For more information as to what is included,
check out the packages.el file in the respective folders in the
+distribution folder of the layers/ directory.
You can install MacType on Windows to get very nice looking fonts. It is also recommended to disable smooth scrolling on Windows.
A GUI build of emacs supporting image display is required. You can follow the instructions here. Alternatively you can download binaries of emacs with image support included such as this one.
This is a known issue as of Emacs 24.4 due to ns-use-srgb-colorspace
defaulting to true. It is recommended to use the emacs-mac-port build.
See the install section in the README for more details.
