Small Windowmanager Enlightenment DR 16-7
Middle-click -> Settings -> window-placement-settings -> ignore struts
Alternatively right-click the title-bar -> remember
That will remember size and position of the current window, when you restart.
I think colors can not be changed easily.
You can switch Themes with a middle-click.
But to customize a theme, you would have to edit it in a texteditor.
/root/.enlightenment/themes/Winter2-p/colormodifiers.cfg or so.
Unfortunately that is solved different in some themes, so you must try to examine these files yourself.

E 17 - not soon.
I had a cvs-version last august.
It still missed several things, and was quite huge. (40 MB stripped down and without themes, packed!).
And one thing I don't like so much, is that it is based on binaries.
Every configfile is a binary, so you need a tool to modify it.
Then in the enlightenment-news you read again and again that the menugenerator (...) is no longer compatible with the current cvs-snapshot.
Maybe this has become better meanwhile, but I don't see enough advantages yet.
Animated titlebars are cool -ok, but that was the only thing that really makes it different from other desktops. And scalable epplets are nice - but no "must have" for me
Currently I even use Jwm more often than e16, it is just so fast and practical (form follows function - taskbar + some tools in it).

To scale the icons, you would have to edit
/root/.enlightenment/ibar
But as I made them themable, you would have to scale down several pictures, too.
The default-pictures are in
/root/.enlightenment/ibar/ibarimages/deskbuttons
But some themes use their own ones.
Originally they were just part of one theme (aztekr2000), I added some symlinks and class-definitions then to the other themes, so that this iconbar can be used by them all. Was kind of tricky...
But you can hide them with a middle-click on the first small button on top of the screen.

no, I think they don't work.
You can start the enlightenment-epplets with left-click -> epplets.
Be shure to have OpenGL installed, if they don't start
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/XServer/DRI/OpenGL-B.pup
To find more, google for "e16 eppletts", but I think there are not many more.
If they should look "broken" (strange colors), write again please.

Trouble with epplets here as well
I'm stoked to have enlightenment, thanks. I had seen it a while ago and liked it.
I'm unable toget the epplets to work. I followed the suggestions in the short thread on just this from a few months back, and the preceeding suggestions as well (openGL, openGL-B, and adding and using the startenlightenment script, but when I call from the menu I just get no response, thouoghj I have seen it crash my whole computer a few times - I think when I called the clock epplet from the command line - didn't try others yet.
Any ideas?
Running Puppy 2.01 with a number of additions but nothing removed.
Thanks

More info - missing libgl
Ok, had assumed it was no longer missing it cause I'd added the openGL pups as suggested but running from console gets:
sh-3.00# E-Clock.epplet
E-Clock.epplet: error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
sh-3.00#
not full crash like I remembered. That was before adding openGL-B I think. However, still missing libGLU. Not clear on how to get libs (I assume that meanslibraries - let me know if wrong) that aren't in a pup or get, though clearly they are cause it works for others. Do I need to find and compile them or are they something that can be dropped in place?
Thank you

--added: I also am unable to find the .get Mark refers to in the other thread for adding libGL.

try
xwin startenlightenment
If you don't have startenlightenment (did I miss to add it?), create it yourself:
Save it as
/usr/bin/startenlightenment
and make it executable with this command:
chmod 755 /usr/bin/startenlightenment
Does this fix your problems?

xwin startenlightenment
If you don't have startenlightenment (did I miss to add it?), create it yourself:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1
export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS
exec enlightenment
/usr/bin/startenlightenment
and make it executable with this command:
chmod 755 /usr/bin/startenlightenment

libGLU
Do you have it in /usr/X11R6/lib ?
sh-3.00# ls -1 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU*
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so.1
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so.1.3.060500
These are in OpenGL-B.pup
To see the dependencies, type
ldd /usr/bin/E-Clock.epplet
If they are definately there, but not found, run
ldconfig
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/System_Utilities/ldconfig.pup
