I've been known to "help" a user by leaning over their shoulder to touch something on their screen, only to find theirs isn't a touchscreen... >> Bryce is being renamed, apparently.

The setup asks you to select screen edge (T/B/L/R), position (left/top, middle/centre, or right/bottom), opacity, auto-resize (yes), auto-hide (yes), and the mysterious "Do not stack above windows" which I left untouched as I don't understand its implications, because a dock/toolbar doesn't "stack", it pops up and pops away. That gives you a rudimentary dock like a Mac (which is why I like it so much). When you run an application from the normal menus, its icon appears in the bryce and you can right-click it and pick (+) to add it permanently. Repeat for your primary applications. For the gadets, place your mouse pointer on any of the icons and then use Alt-rightclick and pick Bryce > Gadgets. The Gadgets panel uses floating-drag, so you click and release and the selected gadget becomes sticky so you can drag it *without* holding down the mouse button, and drop it onto the bryce where you want it. One of the gadgets is a whole block of icons of popular applications, so you might want to start with that rather than adding them all individually. ///Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
