 |
|
Ok, I have emerged all of the basic packages for enlightenment (including the CVS builds) and I was wondering if/how...
1. I can get a clock epplet or something similar without using gdesklets.
2. Wallpaper can be "rotated" every t time intervals using what program.
3. What's a good program or method to modify the menu in Enlightenment on the Desktop to add/remove programs outside of what's in KDE/Gnome's menus.
4. What's the best way to modify Iconbar?
Thanks! |

Not sure really

Just go into ~/.enlightenment and edit the files such as file.menu and user_apps.menu . The layout is pretty self explanatory. Or you can right-click on the desktop and select help, then go to the section about changing menus for a better explanation.

Not sure what you mean by icon bar. Icon box maybe? Just right-click on the little edge, or you can hold alt + right-click on it to modify the border. |

here is a script i wrote, name it cycle-wp.sh or something:
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
#set WP_DIR to the directory your wallpapers reside in
WP_DIR=/home/chris/.backgrounds/
#set SLEEP_TIME to however meny seconds you want
#to wait before each walllpaper change
SLEEP_TIME=20
#file types, space separated
#example: FILE_TYPES="*.jpg *.JPG *.png"
FILE_TYPES="*.jpg"
cd "${WP_DIR}"
while true
do
for i in `ls ${FILE_TYPES}`
do
Esetroot -scale "$i"
sleep ${SLEEP_TIME}
done
done
|
1. just edit the variables WP_DIR, SLEEP_TIME and, FILE_TYPES.
2. save it as cycle-wp.sh and make it executable.
3. then start it from your .xinitrc, or from a terminal.

I'll give those emerges a shot.
By wallpaper rotating I meant what suburban was talking about. But doesn't that script just do 1 wallpaper rotation for all desktops? I was looking for a desktop by desktop solution. Do you have any idea where to go from there?
Thanks! |
