anyone know how to turn off the fancy effects in the status bar?

they aren’t really sized properly, and don’t display at all in terminal mode

@cpmcdaniel - Try SPC t m t.

well, that turns the whole modeline off, but now that I think about it, most of the modeline information other than the filename I generally ignore

@cpmcdaniel - Fair enough. There are other modeline toggles under SPC t m that you might explore.

@cpmcdaniel if it's the separators between the things in the modeline that is bothering you, you can change the separator in our .spacemacs... I set mine to nil, ala:

(setq powerline-default-separator nil
        powerline-center-theme t)

ah, powerline - that is what I am looking for. Thanks!
