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


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


Post time automatically after stopping the timer

If you want Eon to automatically post the time after stopping the timer, use this command: defaults write com.fuelcollective.eon FCAutomaticallyPostTimeAfterStoppingTimer -bool YES. To disable this feature use defaults write com.fuelcollective.eon FCAutomaticallyPostTimeAfterStoppingTimer -bool NO.

Availability: 2.0.7 and later


Ignore invalid certificates

If you want Eon to ignore invalid certificates (or to accept self-signed certificates), use this command: defaults write com.fuelcollective.eon FCCURLConnectionIgnoreInvalidCertificates -bool YES. To disable this feature use defaults write com.fuelcollective.eon FCCURLConnectionIgnoreInvalidCertificates -bool NO.

Availability: 2.0.7 and later
