I am new to Emacs (28.2) and would like to customize certain packages by simply hiding some of their elements or faces.

For example, I'm trying to remove elfeed-search-last-update-face from elfeed-summary. Alas, customize-face does not seem to offer any hiding option.

Editing elfeed-search.el works, but all changes are lost when the package gets updated.

If possible at all, what would be the best way to achieve this?

Just M-x customize-face elfeed-search-last-update-face, and remove (uncheck) all attributes.

  • This adds '(elfeed-search-last-update-face ((t nil))) to my init.el, but it doesn't seem to change anything: the element is still displayed the same as before.

  • Are you sure the thing you don't want to see highlighted has face elfeed-search-last-update-face? If that face is used then you should be able to see the difference immediately, just by setting, not even saving, in Customize.

  • Almost sure? I can't find any similar face that could be used instead. Even after restarting Emacs, I can't see a difference with or without '(elfeed-search-last-update-face ((t nil)))?

  • Finally understood! Instead of trying to hide the undesired element by customizing its face, I copied its function in my init.el and removed (insert (elfeed-search--header) "\n\n") from the defun. I had no idea this was possible, Emacs keeps getting more awesome as I learn! Thank you @Drew to help me see things more clearly. :)
