Eon Hidden Preferences

Eon

To enable some of the features, you'll have to use Terminal (found in /Applications/Utilities/) and the defaults command line.

Change/Disable Idle Time

By default, Eon goes into an 'idle' mode after 5 minutes. When you come back, it will ask you whether you want to restore the clock to 'before it went idle' or not. If you want to change the default 5 minutes to something else, say 10, use this command: defaults write com.fuelcollective.eon IdleTime -int 10. To disable this feature completely, enter 0.

Availability: 1.0 and later


Disable Displaying The Time With Seconds

By default, Eon displays the time with seconds. If you find it disturbing or unnecessarily using up your menu bar space, you can disable it with this command: defaults write com.fuelcollective.eon FCDontDrawSeconds -bool YES. To disable this feature use defaults write com.fuelcollective.eon FCDontDrawSeconds -bool NO.

Availability: 1.0.5 and later


Use Larger Font For The Timer

If you find the font used in the timer in the menu bar too small, you can enlarge it using: defaults write com.fuelcollective.eon FCTimerSize -integer 1. To disable this feature use defaults write com.fuelcollective.eon FCTimerSize -integer 0.

Availability: 1.1 and later


Keeping the Timer Window Above Other Windows

By default, Eon's windows are on the same level as others. If you want the time-tracking window to remain above other windows all the time, you can do so with this command: defaults write com.fuelcollective.eon FCKeepTimeWindowAboveOtherWindows -bool YES. To disable this feature use defaults write com.fuelcollective.eon FCKeepTimeWindowAboveOtherWindows -bool NO.

Availability: 1.2.3 and later
