Technical Notes

Memes
Memes are stored in
~/Library/Containers/net.namedfork.DesktopGoose/Data/Library/Application Support/Desktop
Goose/Memes/.

On the first run, it's populated with the built-in memes, but you can put
more memes there (gif, png, jpg, etc).

Notes
Notes are stored in
~/Library/Containers/net.namedfork.DesktopGoose/Data/Library/Application Support/Desktop
Goose/Notes/.

On the first run, it's populated with the built-in notes, but you can put more
notes here (as txt files).

Settings
To open the settings window, double click the app icon again once it's
 already running.

You can also change the settings with Terminal using the defaults command.
These are the settings and their default values:

• CanAttackAtRandom: NO
• MinWanderingTimeSeconds: 20
• MaxWanderingTimeSeconds: 40
• FirstWanderTimeSeconds: 20
• FrameRate: 60
• SoundVolume: 1 – (use values between 0 and 1)
• UseCustomColors: NO
• GooseWhite: #ffffff
• GooseOrange: #ffa500
• GooseOutline: #d3d3d3
• GooseEye: #000000
• GooseMud: #8b4513

For example, to reduce the framerate to 30:

defaults write net.namedfork.DesktopGoose FrameRate 30

To make the goose red:

defaults write net.namedfork.DesktopGoose GooseWhite "#ff0000"
defaults write net.namedfork.DesktopGoose UseCustomColors -bool YES

To make the goose quiet:

defaults write net.namedfork.DesktopGoose SoundVolume 0

The change will be effective immediately, without having to restart Desktop

Goose.
