Why does Tilda not take focus on pull down?
If you want Tilda to take focus every time you pull it down, turn off 'focus stealing prevention' in your window managers preferences. GNOME and Xfce with Metacity and Xfwm, respectively, are nice enough not to have this on by default.
Weird/Bad Looking Fonts
If your fonts look weird in some way try turning on double buffering. In the Preference window, the General tab, select Enable Double Buffering.
Why is it Tilda? Shouldn't it be Tilde?
Thanks mister know it all. Tilde was already taken on sourceforge so I figured Tilda would be funny. But the one thing I can not answer here is how to pronounce tilda, it's not how you would think (q).
I already had Tilda and a config file why is it saying I need to delete it?
We just switched to a new library, libConfuse, for dealing with the config files in .09.2. So if you have a config file from a version before .09.2 you must delete it, sorry I hope this is the last time that will happen, haha just did it again for .09.2. Sorry but libconfuse makes this a lot easier. Get the convert script here if you don't want to remake your config files.
When I run tilda it says there is no config file or uses the wrong one?
Be sure that the directory ~/.tilda/locks does not have any locks that shouldn't be there anymore. A lock_[$instance] file is created each time tilda is started, so your first tilda window would be ~/.tilda/locks/lock_0. If Tilda exits adnormally this may not get deleted and thus you will have to delete it manually.
How can I contribute to Tilda?
See the Contributing to Tilda page for ideas.
Please note that you do not have to be a coder to help!
