Features


There are many small and nifty features hidden in deskypplet.

Folder icons

Folders dont need to look as usual folders, instead you can select the look of them by inserting a picture inside the folder with one of the following names: folder.jpg , cover.jpg
or the foldername itself with the extension .jpg

folder.png

There is also an another name that can be used which behaves slightly different. And that is folder.png (notice that the extension is different) folder.png will not show up inside the directory as the other does,
instead it will be replaced with This is useful for stuff where you dont want the picture to show up again inside the directory like with memorycards and server-shares.
There is also a special set of icons that is intended for usage inside some special folders.
for example: folder-mmc.png folder-mmc-offline.png
There is also a nice bonuseffect with the linux filesystem and how it mounts external filesystems into the same root-tree.
For example:
  • Copy the folder-mmc.png icon to your memorycard (and ofcourse, rename it as folder.png ,or it wont work...)
  • Then unmount the memorycard and copy the folder-mmc-offline.png to the same directory as the memorycard previously was mounted in.
  • Now you have one icon on the memorycard, and another icon for when the memorycard is unmounted.
    The same trick works for all mounted filesystems, so you can do the same with the appropiate icons for remote servers, cdroms and so on.
