<h2>Configuration Files</h2>
Orion uses two kinds of configuration files residing in the
directory <code>~/.orion-wm</code>. The first one is called
&quot;layout&quot; and the second &quot;config&quot;. Both
configuration files are created for each screen you run orion
on. The name of the screen is appended to the filename, so
usually you will have the files
<code>~/.orion-wm/layout-:0.1</code> and
<code>~/.orion-wm/config-:0.1</code>. The layout file contains
your manager hierarchy and some automatically managed options of
the managers. The content of this file is created automatically
and you should not need to edit the file manually. In the config
file you can specify all possible configuration options of
2003-05-19 13:29:23 -04:00
orion. The file is parsed and executed as a scheme module
file. It should define a module <code>config-file</code> with
the interface <code>config-file-interface</code>. This interface
lists 4 association lists <code>root-options</code>,
<code>split-options</code>, <code>switch-options</code>,
<code>move-options</code> for configuring the child window
managers. The following table lists the possible keys, types of
values and default values of the present options. An example
file may look like this:
<pre>
(define-structure config-file config-file-interface
(open (modify scheme-with-scsh (hide format))
srfi-28
xlib
config-file-utils)
