Turn off the bright meta?

Thanks for the comments / feedback.
I took this opportunity to extend my writing mode, and applied a couple of improvements.

Compare Figure 1 and 2 below. All I did between them is to turn on my custom my/org-writing-mode. I like it so I think I will try to keep it for now.

It’s a demo file I created for this post only but it is pretty close to my real notes. I don’t normally use headlines and headline-nodes, so that’s the main difference.

  • File and headline properties are hidden (toggle) with the custom code @scotto referred to
  • The keyword meta data (#+title and #+filetags) are hidden by prettify-symbols-mode (source on Reddit)
  • Headlines with numbers are turned on via the built-in org-num-mode
  • The headlines stars (asterisks “*”) are hidden by pretty-symbols-mode (same as meta data)
  • Italics and bold syntactic markers ("/string/" and “*string*”) are hidden by setting org-hide-emphasis-markers – you don’t see bold because the font I use don’t have bold weight, I think
  • Variable fonts are applied with variable-pitch-mode together with Modus Operandi theme’s mix fonts (see the source code block uses the fixed-pitch, or mono space font).
  • #+begin/end_src directives are translated to symbols with pretty-symbols-mode
  • All these changes are more or less modular; I can turn on/off changes separately, or apply/remove the wholes changes with a singe minor mode

For what it is worth, I extracted relevant code here on Gist. My entire configuration here (I suggest Gist is easier to view; the configuration is only for my private purpose so I don’t try to make it easy to read).
