Welcome to the Enlightenment FAQ
|
|
|
|
These docs should not be considered a replacement for the regular documentation
|
|
included with Enlightenment. Read these docs first. Once you have gotten
|
|
Enlightenment running (see INSTALL) you should middle-click on the desktop, and
|
|
select the "Help" menu item. The Enlightenment Help Browser (dox) should
|
|
appear.

|
Q: I can't find my _Iconbox(iconbox) or change its settings.
|
|
|
|
A: There are two possibilities here.
|
|
|
|
1. You don't have an Iconbox on your desktop right now. Just middle-click and
|
|
select Desktop/Create new iconbox
|
|
|
|
2. Your Iconbox is transparent and borderless. Iconify a window and see if
|
|
your icon appears. If so, rightclick on it to reconfigure your Iconbox.

Q: Can't Seem To Find My Left Mouse Menu
|
|
|
|
A: Your menu files may be destroyed. Try rerunning the program that initially
|
|
generated them. First you'll want to remove the ~/.enlightenment/*.menu files.
|
|
Rebuild them using the Maintenance menu.

|
Q: All My Settings Are Mangled And I Can't Fix It
|
|
|
|
A: Well, if things get really messed up, you can always remove all of
|
|
enlightenment's automatically saved files. go into ~/.enlightenment, and
|
|
remove the ...e_session* files, and then blow away the cached directory. If
|
|
your theme is broken, remove the user_theme.cfg file, also. The
|
|
next time you start enlightenment it should reset everything to the default.
|
|
|

|
Q: I Upgraded My Theme, But The New One Isn't Being Used
|
|
|
|
A: When you upgrade a theme that does not come with enlightenment, when you go
|
|
into your ~/.enlightenment/themes directory, be sure to delete the unpacked
|
|
directory version of your theme that should be sitting next to the theme, if it
|
|
is there. Otherwise when Enlightenment attempts to start the new version it
|
|
will use the old files, which causes this problem.

|
Q: I set my window to borderless and can't set it back or move it.
|
|
|
|
A: ALT + Right mouse button when pressed anywhere in the window will give you
|
|
the window operations menu. ALT + Left mouse button will move the
|
|
window and ALT + Middle mouse button will resize the window.
|
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
Q: How can I move or resize the iconbox.
|
|
|
|
A: As described above, ALT + Right mouse button will give you the
|
|
window operations menu, ALT + Middle mouse button will resize the
|
|
iconbox and ALT+left mouse button will move it.
|

Q: How do I set up Enlightenment to work with GNOME?
|
|
|
|
A: By default, Enlightenment supports all of the GNOME hints. However, if you
|
|
want to run GMC you may notice that clicking on the root window does not
|
|
always have the desired effect (for dragging icons, GMC's root menus, etc).
|
|
If you want to use GMC with enlightenment, there are a couple of options. You
|
|
can use alt+leftmouse and alt+rightmouse to use the GMC root menus. Or, you
|
|
can edit the keybindings.cfg file to remove the bindings for your left and
|
|
right
|
|
mousebuttons. There is a copy of keybindings.cfg that will do this for you
|
|
that comes with enlightenment. in /path/to/enlightenment/configs/
|
|
copy the keybindings.gmc.cfg into your ~/.enlightenment directory. When you
|
|
restart, you will no longer have the left and right mousebuttons bound to
|
|
enlightenment. To modify your system configuration, copy over the
|
|
keybindings.cfg file in that directory. For your convenience, there is a
|
|
keybindings.nogmc.cfg in case you want to reverse this change at a later date.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: you may choose to use virtual areas instead of virtual desktops since
|
|
GMC does not handle clicks anywhere on the root window on desktops other than
|
|
0.
|
|
If you want to start enlightenment from gnome-session, you should use the
|
|
gnome control-panel to select the new enlightenment as your window manager.
|
|
Warning: Enlightenment is slower when run from a session manager. You should
|
|
opt to run enlightenment and have enlightenment be your session manager
|
|
instead of running gnome-session. You can start "panel" and "gmc" by hand and
|
|
have enlightenment relaunch them as the preferred launch method. To do this,
|
|
once you have launched them by hand, alt-rightclick on them, select "Remember"
|
|
and then choose "Restart Application on Login".

Q: How do I set up Enlightenment to work with KDE?
|
|
|
|
A: By default, Enlightenment does not support the KDE hints. You can turn them
|
|
on easily through your settings menus, however. If you want to add support
|
|
automatically upon launch (which can be disabled by the autosaved user
|
|
configuration) then copy the control.kde.cfg to the ~/.enlightenment directory
|
|
and rename it to control.cfg. If you are doing this after launching
|
|
enlightenment for the first time, you will want to remove the line from your
|
|
~/.enlightenment/...e_session.XXXXXX file that looks like: <br>
|
|
1366 0
|
|
simply remove that line and start up enlightenment again.
|
|
If your "KDE Support" _settings(settings) panel still show KDE support
|
|
turned on, then
|
|
you can simply check the box there, and KDE support will remain on.
|
|
You can launch kpanel and/or kfm from your .xsession or .xinitrc files and
|
|
they will work correctly. If you want to edit the startkde script
|
|
(system-wide configuration change) find the line that contains kwm and replace
|
|
it with /path/to/enlightenment.

Q: These Docs Didn't Help, Where Can I Get More Help?
|
|
|
|
A: Well, we obviously can't answer all of your questions just by predicting
|
|
them, so I would try the website as well as looking at the
|
|
mailing lists , especially the mail archives. Chances are that someone
|
|
else has probably had the same problem that you have. And if all that still
|
|
fails, you might try someone on the irc channel.
