====== PyRoom Project ======
PyRoom is a fullscreen simple text editor, without a toolbar, a menubar or anything that would distract the user from his most important task: writing.
===== Dependencies =====
PyRoom depends on Python, PyGTK and gtksourceview. Please refer to your system documentation for information on how to install these modules if they're not currently available.
===== Installing and Running =====
PyRoom is available as a seutptools enabled package. Installation procedures for those are easy:
Either unpack the tarball
$ tar xvfz pyroom.tar.gz
or check out our bazaar branch for a development version (we try to keep those
unbroken and ready for production use)
$ bzr branch lp:pyroom
From there, you can either run pyroom from commandline
$ cd pyroom/
$ ./pyroom
Or install it system wide
$ cd pyroom
$ python setup.py install # as root
$ pyroom
==== Usage ====
=== Running PyRoom ===
To run pyroom and instruct it to load some existing files, type:
$ pyroom /path/to/file1 /other/path/to/file2
===Graphical Styles===
The default style is "green", which is a green text color in a black background. You can change the chosen style by typing:
$ pyroom [--style={style name}]
For instance:
$ pyroom --style=blue
At the time of writing, the available styles are:
* blue
* green
* darkgreen
=== Example Usage ===
For example, to load PyRoom and instruct it to use the "darkgreen" style and to load the files "article.txt" and "blogpost.txt", type the following:
$ pyroom --style=darkgreen article.txt blog.txt
