I am using org-agenda to see my day (org-agenda-day-view). In the current day, I can see the "deadline-warning-line" with the corresponding n days left for the due date. Good.

However, when I press f to see tomorrow or b to see yesterday, those days don't have any "deadline-warning-line". (If I go further in the future to the due date, that day is properly marked.)

The answer to this question shades a good light on the issue, saying that the warning is placed by emacs just on "today". The answer points to the manual, but does not state whether it is doable or not.

In org-agenda-day-view, I would like to see the "deadline-warning-line" in every day according to the values in org-deadline-warning-days and org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled (which in my case is pre-scheduled).

Is there a practical way to achieve this?

    It's hard code in org-agenda-get-deadlines and not easy to change. The most convenient way is change (today? (org-agenda-today-p date)) ; DATE bound by calendar. in org-agenda-get-deadlines to (today? t), but there is an side effect that it will show In 0 d. rather than Deadline: on deadline day. If you want perfect version, you should change function logic at every place today? appear.
