Zoom window in Emacs
                  ====================


                      Zoom in tmux
                      ------------

I am a great fan of the zoom function in tmux, which can
be called with [escape-key]-z.

This is useful when you have split the tmux window into
two or more panels.

* Calling zoom in tmux will enlarge the current panel to
 fill the entire window.

* Calling zoom again will return to the 'normal' state.

                     Zoom in Emacs
                     -------------

zoom-window.el provides a simular function for Emacs.

To notify that a window is zoomed, the background color of
the mode line is changed. The default background color for
this is light green.

When the text in the mode line is white, it becomes hard
to read on the light green background. A variable can be
set to change the default background color.

This is in my .emacs:

   (use-package zoom-window
     :ensure t
     :config
     (setq zoom-window-mode-line-color "DarkGreen")
     :bind ("C-x C-z" . zoom-window-zoom))

This will install the package, set a key binding C-x C-z
to zoom / unzoom, and change the background color of the
mode line in zoom-mode to dark green.

Have fun!
