Install Guide

From Tildawiki

• 1) First, you'll need to install, VTE and libConfuse

• 2) Unzip and untar the source, change directorys to the tilda dir and run:

   ./configure --prefix=/usr
   make
   make install

• 3) Run tilda -C to bring up the configuration wizard, even if you had tilda installed before, ~/.tilda/config may have changed

• 4) The command 'tilda' is used to run Tilda

• 5) Default key F[$instance+1] so if this is first tilda you run, instance=0, press F1 to bring tilda up and down. Example key bindings (note: grave is ~:

   None+grave
   None+F1
   Control+x    
   Alt+x
   Win+x

• 6) tilda -h to see the rest of the command line options. If you want a transparent bg and you want a white font do the follow "tilda -t -b black" this will set the forground color to white and the terminal transparent.

• 7) Lock files are stored in ~/.tilda/locks now so keep an eye on that dir if Tilda dies in an odd way, seg fault or xkill.

• 8) Shortcuts for tabs are: Ctrl-Shift-T (New Tab), Ctrl-Shift-PageUp (Next Tab), Ctrl-Shift-PageDown (Prev Tab) and Alt-#(go to 1 to 10th tab)

• 9) If you want Tilda to take focus everytime you pull it down, turn off 'focus stealing prevention' in your window managers preferences. GNOME with Metacity and Xfce's Xfwm are nice enough not to have this on by default.

• 10) If your fonts look weird in some way try turning on double buffering. In the Preference window, the General tab, select Enable Double Buffering.
