Window Manager

Emacs 22 has functionality to co-exist with any Window Manager. Thus, Goby works well without heavy customization. The followings are actions to be expected:

(1) The frame "*goby*" in Edit mode should just-fit with the screen:

• On the top, the title bar is displayed.
• Minibuffer is also displayed.
• Decorations of right and left edges are hidden and Emacs's fringes are displayed.

(2) In View mode, the frame should be white/black as follows:

• The title bar is hidden because the frame goes up.
• Minibuffer and mode-line are hidden since the frame is enlarged.
• Both fringes become white/black.

If Goby does not work as explained above, you should customize the following variables.

If the title bar of the frame "*goby*" is not displayed, specify the pixel number of the title bar to move down.

(setq goby-window-manager-top-position 16) ;; Its default is 0

If modeline is not hidden in View mode, increase the line number to enlarge:

(setq goby-window-manager-bottom-margin 7) ;; Its default is  5

If the first line is hidden in View mode, set the following variable to zero (or proper number) o move down.

(setq goby-window-manager-view-top-position 0) ;; Its default is -22

For MacOS X, an appropriate minus value would be good.

(setq goby-window-manager-view-top-position -15) ;; Its default is -22

Tab

If you want to customize size and color, set goby-tab-spec. Its default value is as follows:

(setq goby-tab-spec
      '((0 6 "gray25"  "gray50")
        (1 5 "#004080" "#007080")
        (2 4 "#006080" "#009080")
        (3 3 "#008080" "#00b080")))

The format is as follows:

• The first number is the number of TAB characters
• The second number is font size (percentage to the screen height)
• The third is color
• The fouth is color of item signs.

For the line which has more TAB characters than the maximum number specified in goby-tab-spec, the last entry is used.

Theme

Goby provides two themes: 'light and 'dark. The default theme is 'light. If you want to use 'dark, configure as follows:

(setq goby-theme 'dark)

Hook

Goby provides the following five hooks:

goby-decorate-initial-frame-hook

A hook to be called when a Goby frame is created.

goby-view-mode-enter-hook

A hook to be called when entering View mode.

goby-view-mode-enter-hook2

goby-view-mode-exit-hook
