I have the following setup

(defun typex-ruler ()

  "Customisation for ruler."

  (interactive)

  (require 'ruler-mode)

  (add-hook 'window-configuration-change-hook (lambda () (ruler-mode 1)))

  (set-face-attribute 'ruler-mode-current-column nil :background "#ff4500" 
:foreground "#ffffff") )

Is there a recommended better way to do it?
