[edit] Minimoko: fast and lean Desktop

--matzehuber 16:30, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

I used shr unstable with all updates until 2009-10-15 and made some changes on it.

  • windowmanager: openbox and obconf (patched few lines of code)
  • desktop-software(icons): idesk
  • keyboard: literki
  • screenlock: xtrlock (modified)
  • desktop-status: xminimokostatus (new written, uses dbus in C/glib)

left side screenshots are with normal theme, the right theme is "Mikachu"

[edit] Download

[edit] Install

untar it onto an ext3-sdcard. nothing more is to do. boot with qi. you need ~243 MB on the card.

[edit] Documentation Links

[edit] Usage

It bases on shr, so the base is shr-like. If you want to get illume, just rename .Xsession to .Xsession.unused

[edit] Tips

  • When you use obconf, the configuration is "copied" into .config/openbox/rc.xml and furthermore used from there
  • Minimized Windows are excluded from the slide function, you have to bring them up with menu -> windows
  • To bring the keyboard up, slide from bottom right up and slide down to bring it down
  • one can have the icons moveable, but the screen is flickering while moving. to do this, one can edit .ideskrc

[edit] Knobs, touches ...

  • single click on an icon starts the program which lays behind .idesktop/<application>.lnk
  • AUX locks the screen with xtrlock. Pressing one more AUX unlocks the screen
  • POWER short pressed suspends
  • POWER for more or equal 2 Seconds shuts the system down with init 0
  • Slide(drag to the right, for example) on the top bar of an application switches to the next application
  • Double Click on the topbar of an application shows the Main Menu
  • Double Click on the empty desktop shows the Main Menu
  • On the left of the topbar is the knob for minimizing the app, on the right topbar is the close knob

[edit] Menus

if you installed new applications and want the menu updated, use:

 /usr/bin/makemenus

after that, you can remove unused menuitems in /etc/xdg/openbox/openmoko.menu
