Configuring
LCDC :::...
I
won't go into too much depth here as there's a multitude
of things you can twiddle, tweak and generally play with.
The
main menu screen looks deceptively simple, it's clearly
trying to lull me into a false sense of security.

You
start by hitting the "Configure/Test" option which
takes you here:
Start
with the two screens under "LCDD defaults". Most
is self explanatory and you can set the "Display File"
option to "mx2example" which loads some default
options to get your display running. Later, if you define
your own display options you can save them and load them
later from there.

Page
two is more of the same and in most instances won't need
changing.

Next
is the "System Clock" screen where you can actually
specify a time server for automatic updates.

Next
is the screen where you can specify certain animated characters.
Again most users won't need to change anything here.

Need
a notification when you have a new email? You can configure
that from the "E-Mail accounts" screen.

If
you're not already thrilled (or confused" by all the
options, how about adding more through the use of plugins?
Many of the plugins need configuring and those that do can
be set by clicking the "configure" icon at the
top of the screen.

Of
course I needed to set the 3DVelocity RSS feed from the
RSS Plugin

And
much as I'd like to pretend it was on the list by default,
in reality I needed to set it up using the RSS feeds editor
which is also part of the plugin.
