| + | ==== Some examples ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Here you'll find some typical examples of custom configuration in a "Q&A"-like style. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === I want more/less workspaces! === | ||
| + | |||
| + | This is something that depends on the wm (pekwm by default). You can configure how many workspaces pekwm creates. Simply adjust the file **~/.pekwm/config** | ||
| + | |||
| + | Look for the following section: | ||
| + | |||
| + | Screen { | ||
| + | Workspaces = "4" | ||
| + | WorkspacesPerRow = "4" | ||
| + | WorkspaceNames = "Main;Web;E-mail;Music" | ||
| + | |||
| + | Here you can change how many workspaces are available, how many are in one row and what there names are. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === I don't need some of applets in the panel! === | ||
| + | |||
| + | No problem. Open up **~/.config/ede/ede-panel.conf** with your prefered editor. What you need is the key **applets** in the category **[Panel]**. It's not there by default, just copy the following line in: | ||
| + | |||
| + | applets = start_menu, quick_launch, pager, clock, taskbar, keyboard_layout, battery_monitor, cpu_monitor, mem_monitor, system_tray | ||
| + | |||
| + | This will explicitly add all the applets which are the default. Now feel free to delete the ones which you don't like. They will not be displayed when you start ''EDE'' next time. | ||
| + | |||
| + | :!: Attention: The order among the applets is currently //fixed//! This is meant to be more flexible in future versions. | ||
