| - | ''EDE'' can be configured in many aspects. | ||
| - | |||
| - | You don't like the default behaviour of something? Don't panic! There's a good chance that you can change it. (And if you really can't, feel free to post a feature request on the [[http://bugs.equinox-project.org|bug tracker]]!) | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Graphical configuration ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | The more obvious way to adjust ''EDE'''s behaviour is via the graphical configuration tools (see screenshots below). | ||
| - | |||
| - | The "Configuration place" can be accessed from the menu in the //settings// category. | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki: config1.png}} | ||
| - | |||
| - | It provides six tools to customize ''EDE'' to your liking. These should be pretty self-explanatory. | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{wiki: config2.png}} | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Background and icons ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Here you can change the //background colour// or set a //wallpaper//, change //icon properties// and //fonts//. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Screensaver ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | This tool lets you configure a //screensaver//. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Time and date ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Displays a //calendar// and a //clock//. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== System bell ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Provides //volume control//. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Keyboard ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Lets you choose a //keyboard layout// for your country. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Preferred applications ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Set your preferred //terminal emulator//, //file manager//, //browser// and //mail client//. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Advanced configuration ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | You can change a lot of settings for ''EDE'' which cannot (yet) be set using a graphical configuration utility. So for now you're stuck with editing configuration files in that case. | ||
| - | |||
| - | But that should be no problem, right? At least not when you know what ''EDE'''s configuration files are and where they can be found. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Just backup your configuration and start exploring what can be done! We'll cover some common examples later. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== User dependent configuration ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | By default, ''EDE'' comes with a bundled version of ''pekwm''. Configuration files for both are separate. | ||
| - | |||
| - | === Configuring EDE === | ||
| - | |||
| - | ''EDE'' places configuration files that affect the current user only in the directory **~/.config/ede**. | ||
| - | |||
| - | As of version 2.1 you can find the following files there: | ||
| - | |||
| - | * ede-desktop-icons.conf | ||
| - | * ede-keyboard.conf | ||
| - | * ede-panel.conf | ||
| - | * ede-settings.conf | ||
| - | |||
| - | === Configuring Pekwm === | ||
| - | |||
| - | ''Pekwm'''s configuration files can be found in **~/.pekwm**. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Currently there are the following files there: | ||
| - | |||
| - | * autoproperties | ||
| - | * config | ||
| - | * keys | ||
| - | * menu | ||
| - | * mouse | ||
| - | * start | ||
| - | * vars | ||
