Configuring
===========

You'll need to configure Todoman before the first usage, using its simple
ini-like configuration file.

Configuration File
------------------

The configuration file should be placed in
``$XDG_CONFIG_DIR/todoman/todoman.conf``. ``$XDG_CONFIG_DIR`` defaults to
``~/.config`` is most situations, so this will generally be
``~/.config/todoman/todoman.conf``.

.. include:: confspec.tmp

Sample configuration
--------------------

The below example should serve as a reference. It will read ics files from any
directory inside ``~/.local/share/calendars/``, use the ISO-8601 date
format, and set the due date for new todos in 48hs.

.. literalinclude:: ../../todoman.conf.sample
  :language: ini

Color and displayname
---------------------

- You can set a color for each task list by creating a ``color`` file containing
  a colorcode in the format ``#RRGGBB``.
- A file named ``displayname`` decides how the task list should be named. The
  default is the directory name.
