Thanks! I was able to move the global-mode-string farther up in
the default-mode-line-format variable. Now if only I could get the
org-mode-line-string as the first entry in the global-mode-string.
Upon further reflection, I decided I would prefer the following behavior:
- When I clock into an item, a header line appears with the
org-mode-line-string -- i.e., the clock information.
- When I clock out of an item, the header line disappears (i.e.,
header-line-format is set to nil).
I'll see if I can cook something up using the org-clock hooks.
Best,
Matt
