I'm using a documentclass which looks dramatically different in draft mode compared to final. I'm preparing my document for the final formatting, so I don't want to pass the draft option.
However I would like to see overfull hboxes marked with the visible black bar (slug) in the same way as \documentclass[draft]{article}. Is there a way to turn on this visualization separately to using the draft option?
You can set \overfullrule=1mm to display overfull lines regardless of the draft mode.
article.cls, the option is defined by \DeclareOption{draft}{\setlength\overfullrule{5pt}}, hence 5pt is the default length.)
