;;; lisp/interface.el --- Changes to Emacs' interface -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-
;;; Commentary:
;;
;; Emacs has a little too much going on in it's interface by default - things
;; like GTK dialog boxes for quitting, a scroll bar, a menu bar, etc. are all
;; unnecessary for most users - so disabling that is done right in this file.
;; Additionally, the default theme isn't very aesthetic, so that obviously needs to change too.
;;
;;; Code:

;; Stop Emacs from resizing the window at startup
(setq frame-resize-pixelwise t)

;; Remove the startup screen
(setq inhibit-startup-message t)

;; Disable the GTK dialog that appears when exiting without saving
(setq use-dialog-box nil)

;; Enable line numbers globally
(global-display-line-numbers-mode 1)

;; Add a nice border around Emacs
(modify-all-frames-parameters
 '((right-divider-width . 15)
   (internal-border-width . 15)))
(dolist (face '(window-divider
                window-divider-first-pixel
                window-divider-last-pixel))
  (face-spec-reset-face face)
  (set-face-foreground face (face-attribute 'default :background)))
(set-face-background 'fringe (face-attribute 'default :background))

;; Use the `orderless' completion mechanism
(use-package orderless
  :init
  (setq completion-styles '(orderless basic)
        completion-category-defaults nil
        completion-category-overrides '((file (styles basic partial-completion)))))
