Upon the first (successful) start, ~/.NsCDE,
that is $FVWM_USERDIR
is created, and only icons subdirectory
is created as fvwm-menu-desktop is run. User will be presented with a default
system setup and with default color theme Broica in 8 colors, and
f_FindApp
function will try hard to find some usable terminal
application and run it with setup. If Gkrellm, pnmixer programs are installed,
on the system and found, they will be run too. Stalonetray and Dunst will be run if enabled by the user. Stalonetray and Dunst colors and fonts will be handled internally by Color
Style Manager and Font Style Manager when theme or font is changed.
Initial setup is a simple script ($NSCDE_ROOT/libexec/nscde_setup) from the terminal which will run automatically and will set up the following:
X resources in ~/.NsCDE
Default background color (pre-FvwmBacker) from default theme
Default ~/.NsCDE/NsCDE.conf
Default ~/.NsCDE/GeoDB.ini
~/.icons/default/index.theme
(default X cursor scheme)
~/.gtkrc-2.0
~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
~/.themes/NsCDE
~/.config/Trolltech.conf
~/.config/qt5ct/qt5ct.conf
~/NsCDE/Stalonetray.conf if it does not exist yet
~/NsCDE/Dunst.conf if it does not exist yet
Visual Pager NsCDE addon Option
Disable or enable XscreenSaver
Disable or enable use of the XSETTINGS xsettingsd daemon
Disable or enable use of Rofi Launcher on Meta+F1 if installed
Enable NsCDE to remember last used page on workspace if selected
Configure favorite X file manager, if desired
Configure favorite X text editor, if desired
Note that no file from the above list will be overwritten if it already
exists in it's place. It will be skipped, but GTK and Qt theme
integration files can be still written with Color Style Manager.
After nscde_setup script finishes setup,
Color Style Manager will be run and
user asked to confirm default theme or change it. Do not avoid this
step, since some program bits are not fully setup on bare defaults,
(like a clock background) and must be
generated in the ~/.NsCDE/icons/NsCDE
directory.
After Color Style Manager's
button is pressed, theme will be
regenerated. Gtk and Qt themes will be regenerated only if their
checkboxes in Color Style Manager are checked in.
Setup script after the finish will ask user to press RETURN to exit.
This is for user's convenience to read output of the setup for
informative and/or diagnostic reasons.
It is advised after this setup to open $FVWM_USERDIR/NsCDE.conf
and set up InfoStoreAdd internal FVWM variables for terminal
,
filemgr
and xeditor
to user's favorite programs for
functions.
Layout of the $FVWM_USERDIR
after the initial
setup should look like this:
app-defaults/
backdrops/
palettes/
fontsets/
templates/
photos/
backer/
GeoDB.ini
icons/
icons/NsCDE/
NsCDE-Backdrops.conf
NsCDE-Colorset.conf
NsCDE.conf
tmp/
Xdefaults
Xdefaults.fontdefs
Xdefaults.local
Xdefaults.mouse
It is advised to logout and login from the X session after this, and check if everything looks ok. Also, it is a good idea to start using programs from the menu and examine environment around for a half an hour or so, before running Style Manager (2nd button right of the Workspace Manager on the Front Panel) to customize other aspects of the interface. NsCDE is now ready for usage.
