Please Donate

Please contribute to the continued development of orca-customizations.py. Thank you for your support. If you would like your name posted here for others to see include it in the "purpose" box when you make your donation.

This application will guide you through the process of creating a personalized orca-customizations.py file. After creating the file and placing it in your .orca/ directory, you will be able to access battery status, time and date, and weather information with a keypress.

Placing Your Orca-Customizations.py File

Once your file has been downloaded, you will need to place it in your .orca directory. The latest versions of Orca save information in the ~/.local/share/orca/ directory. If you are not sure, type the following command in terminal:
ls ~/.local/share/orca/
If you get an error then your version of Orca still uses the ~/.orca/ directory. For users of the latest version with ~/.local/share/orca type the following command in terminal to import the new customizations file:
mv ~/Downloads/orca-customizations.py ~/.local/share/orca/orca-customizations.py
If, however, you have the ~/.orca/ directory the command to import the new file would be:
mv ~/Downloads/orca-customizations.py ~/.orca/orca-customizations.py
