Notion ====== Notion is now considered stable, but there have been substantial changes from earlier development snapshots. Instructions for using Notion can be found in the manual page ("man notion"). Docks and system trays ---------------------- Notion is compatible with the docking protocols used by WindowMaker and KDE. It can place docked applications windows either in a corner dock, or in a "system tray" in the status bar. For a corner dock, add: dopath("mod_dock") to cfg_notion.lua or cfg_modules.lua and edit cfg_dock.lua to your preferences. The dock window's visibility can be toggled using MOD1+D. For a system tray, edit cfg_statusbar.lua to include: mod_statusbar.create { ... systray=true, template="... %systray" } You can also configure specific windows to appear in the status bar: -- In cfg_notion.lua: defwinprop { class = "foo-window-class", statusbar = "foo" } -- In cfg_status_bar.lua: mod_statusbar.create { ... template="... %systray_foo" } GNOME unfortunately uses a different dock protocol. However, the docker program can adapt from this to the WindowMaker protocol. So you can include a GNOME system tray in your status bar by including docker in your X session and this in your Notion configuration: -- In cfg_notion.lua: defwinprop { class = "Docker", statusbar = "dock" } -- In cfg_statusbar.lua: mod_statusbar.create { ... template="... %systray_dock" } Adding configuration files to the defaults ------------------------------------------ Notion extension packages may add and remove configuration files to those included by cfg_defaults.lua. The configuration files must be installed under /etc/X11/notion. Run "install-notion-cfg cfg_foo" in the postinst script to add the configuration file /etc/X11/notion/cfg_foo.lua. Run "install-notion-cfg --remove cfg_foo" in the prerm script to remove it. -- Ben Hutchings Thu, 07 Feb 2008 20:35:27 +0000
