Not true. Every TiddlyWiki document comes with built-in default "shadow" tiddlers that are hard-coded into the core. These shadows provide fallback definitions for all the essential 'system config' tiddlers, so that there are always proper definitions available, even in an empty document. All shadow tiddlers are listed in the sidebar tabs (see more>shadowed). To customize the default configuration, simply open and edit a shadow tiddler. When you press 'done', a 'real' tiddler is created with the same name as the shadow tiddler. This automatically supersedes the shadow definition so that your custom config is applied each time the document is loaded. You can revert to the shadow definition for a tiddler simply by deleting (or renaming) the 'real' tiddler, so that the default values will "emerge from the shadows" (hence the name). enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
