====== Zim:FAQ ======

To ask your questions mail [[pardus@cpan.org]].

=== How do I set a default directory? ===
If you edit your config file (close **zim** first) and set ''default_root'' to the default directory you can run [[:man:zim|zim(1)]] without arguments. See [[config]] for more information.

=== How can I close the "tabs" ? ===
Uhm, if you mean the buttons above your page, that are not tabs, that is a path bar keeping track of your history. Due to popular demand it will be replaced by a "recent pages" stack in the next release to avoid redundant entries.

=== I would like zim to hide in the system tray ===
Edit your [[config]] file and set ''use_tray_icon'' to ''1''.
Please be aware that **zim** currently does not warn you when opening the same file twice.

=== Is it possible to get a bigger font ? ===
The font used by **zim** is just the gtk default. At the moment it is not possible to configure the font for **zim** specifically but you can set your gtk font to another size. Just put something like 

    gtk-font-name = "Sans 14"

in either ''/usr/share/themes/Default/gtk-2.0/gtkrc'' or ''~/.gtkrc-2.0'' .

=== What about the Gnome HIG ? ===
**Zim** tries to follow the HIG when pratical, but doesn't adhere very strictly to it . This means that for example the keybinding scheme for **zim** differs from the HIG scheme.
