Deskypplet.conf


The file deskypplet.conf is stored in the deskypplet directory (/home/user/.deskypplet) and is the configfile for deskypplets general behaviour and looks.
The other cofigfiles are described here

width=700
height=420

These changes the size of the widget, max size is the same as the screen (width=800 and height=420)

bgcolor=0,0,65535
bgalpha=0
fontcolor=0,0,8192

These are the colours for the background and fonts, and the alpha of the background.
colours are defined as an R.G.B value, where each colour can be between 0 and 65535
alpha is the transparency of the background and can be between 0 and 100
where 0 is completely transparent background and 100 is a solid background.

font for filenames=Sans 10
font for bookmarks=Times 10
font for title=Times 22

Here you can choose what font you want in different part of deskypplet and which size it should be in.

title height=50
title buttons size=50

This sets the height of the titlebar and the size of the buttons on the sides in the titlebar.

icons size=72
filename textbox height=30

Icons size sets the size of the fileicons and filename textbox height is the height of the space below the icons where the filename is.

toolbar on top=1

The toolbar is the row that shows the path of the current directory.
it can either be at the top (=1) or at the bottom (=0)

center label=1

The pathlabel in the toolbar can either be centered (=1) or leftaligned (=0).

last app standing=Leafpad

When there isnt any program defined for a filetype in maemo, then you can define a program that opens it here, for instance a text or hex viewer of your choice.

fat finger mode=0

To turn off fat finger mode, set it to 0 and to turn it on set it to 1.

startdir=/home/user/MyDocs/.documents
fastmode active on start=1

This is the startdir that Deskypplet will show when the widget is started.
And the mode that it should have when started (fastmode=1 Vs advancedmode=0)

play mp3 folder=0
playlistdir=/home/user/MyDocs/.documents

This is a feature of Deskypplet.
If you enter a folder with more than two mp3 files and less than four other files, then Deskypplet can create a playlist in a folder you select and start to autoplay that playlist.
To turn off this feature set it to =0
and to turn it on set it to =1 and select a directory where the playlists should be created.
Look at the function of the cover.jpg file too

use external picture viewer=1

Deskypplet now has an internal pictureviewer too.
It is simple but very fast and very well integrated into deskypplet.
To turn it on set it to 1 and to turn it off and maybe use some other wiewer then set it to 0

execute sh files=1

This will tell deskypplet to execute shellscripts when tapped or to not do it.
