<sect2 id="hdbk-start-kde"><title>Starting &bibletime; from KDE</title>
<para> &bibletime; is a &kde; program and is integrated with the &kde; desktop.
You can launch &bibletime; from the &kde; Start Menu in
the Applications group with this icon:
<mediaobject>
<imageobject><imagedata fileref="i_bibletime.png" format="PNG"/></imageobject>
<textobject>
<phrase>&bibletime; start icon</phrase> </textobject>
</mediaobject>
</para>
<para>&bibletime; can also be launched from a terminal command prompt.
To launch &bibletime;, open a terminal window and type:
<screen>
bibletime
</screen>
</para>
</sect2>
<sect2 id="hdbk-start-otherwm"><title>Other window managers</title>
<para>&bibletime; can be used with other window managers such as Gnome, BlackBox or Sawfish,
providing &kde; is already installed on your computer. If your &kde; is installed
in /opt/kde, then the start-up command in a terminal would be:</para>
<screen>
export KDEDIR=/opt/kde #your KDE directory
bibletime
</screen>
</sect2>
<sect2 id="hdbk-start-custom"><title>Startup customization</title>
<para>From a terminal you can use &bibletime; to open a random verse in the
default bible:
<screen>
bibletime --open-default-bible "<random>"
</screen>
To open at a given passage like John 3:16, use:
<screen>
bibletime --open-default-bible "John 3:16"
</screen>
You can also use booknames in your current bookname language.
</para>
</sect2>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="hdbk-startsequence"><title>Startup sequence</title>
<para>As &bibletime; launches you may see the following screens before
the main &bibletime; window opens:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><interface>Bookshelf Manager</interface></term>
<listitem><para><action>Modifies your Bookshelf.</action> This dialog
lets you modify your Bookshelf, add or delete works from your system.
It will only be shown if no default Bookshelf can be found. Please see
<link linkend="hdbk-op-bookshelfmanager">this section</link>for further details.
If you start off with an empty Bookshelf, it will be helpful to install at least one Bible,
Commentary, Lexicon and one Book to get to know &bibletime;'s basic features quickly.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><interface>Configure &bibletime; dialog</interface></term>
<listitem><para><action>Customizes &bibletime;.</action> This dialog lets you
adapt &bibletime; to your needs. Please see <link linkend="hdbk-config-bt">
the detailed description</link> of this dialog.</para></listitem>

more efficiently with &bibletime;, and also a few quotations from the Bible.
