| + | ==== System-wide configuration ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Just like the local configuration, the global configuration is also split into that of ''EDE'' and of ''pekwm''. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Configuring EDE === | ||
| + | |||
| + | The global configuration files for ''EDE'' can be found in the two directories **//$prefix///etc/xdg/ede** and **///$prefix///etc/xdg/menus**. There you can find the following files: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * ede-conf.conf | ||
| + | * ede-settings.conf | ||
| + | * ede-startup.conf | ||
| + | |||
| + | and | ||
| + | |||
| + | * ede-applications.menu | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Configuring Pekwm === | ||
| + | |||
| + | Global configuration for ''pekwm'' can be found in **///$prefix///etc/pekwm**. There are files of the same name as in the local configuration directory (which take precedence over the values in the global configuration). | ||
| + | |||
| + | There's one exception, however. One file is only found in the global config directory: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * autoproperties_typerules | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== 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. | ||
