Other Gadgets

You can install Gadgets from 3rd party sources listed below. Modules without link can be found in enlightenmens CVS repository, see next section on how to install these. Please note that if you report problems with enlightenment first try to disable all 3rd party Gadgets, since this will be the first thing you'll be asked to ;)

1) Screenshot Self-explanatory, configurable in time before Snap,location & type of file saved (default is PNG).

2) Mixer Pops in a master sound slider; configuration allows you to select which kind of Master (PCM, Main Out) & soundcard if you have several.

3) Alarm Provides a reminder in the form of a Pop-Up - or lauches any program you'd like. Configurable in Repeat, Days active, time & lots of other nice ways.

4) Bling enables transparency & drop shadows- may not be compatible with every hardware. Very Experimental, not recommended for normal users.

5) Taskbar shows a list of windows. The Taskbar is not a System Tray, you would not see there, for instance, a KDE Applet such as kwallet.
