-;; 1 Customizations
-;; ════════════════
-;;
-;; • The appearance of the beacon is configured by `beacon-size' and
-;; `beacon-color'.
-;;
-;; • The duration is configured by `beacon-blink-duration' and
-;; `beacon-blink-delay'.
-;;
-;; • To customize /when/ the beacon should blink at all, configure
-;; `beacon-blink-when-window-scrolls',
-;; `beacon-blink-when-window-changes',
-;; `beacon-blink-when-buffer-changes', and
-;; `beacon-blink-when-point-moves'.
-;;
-;; • To prevent the beacon from blinking only on some major-modes,
-;; configure `beacon-dont-blink-major-modes'. For specific buffers, you
-;; can do `(setq-local beacon-mode nil)'. For even more refined
-;; control, configure `beacon-dont-blink-predicates'
-;;
-;; • Beacon can also push the mark for you whenever point moves a long
-;; distance. For this, configure `beacon-push-mark'.
+;; See the accompanying Readme.org for configuration details.
