This one I made myself (based on Phlat).
Mondrian is more colourfull, inspired by the famous artist Piet Mondrian

The backgroundpicture is in /usr/share/backgrounds, so you will just see it in the "middleclick-Desktop-background-list" when you exit X and run Enlightenment again.

Tried to install enlightenment - I would like to replace jwm with it.
Downloaded the 'enlightenment for puppy' pup and 'enlightenment MU's config' pup files.
Installed them the order as above. Restarting 'xwin enlightenment' dropped back to prompt.
xerrs file says:
...
enlightenment: error while loading shared libraries: libesd.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
...
Have I done a mistake?
This library belongs to esd sound I guess. What additional pup file should I download ?
Any help appreciate .

hi am very new to puppy and the whole linux thing, it's been fun to learn something new, but ive downloaded the enlightenment.pup, and i run the lil installer that comes with puppy 1.0.8 and i type "xwin enlightenment" at a prompt and i get some kind of error. Can somebody walk me through the installation of enlightenment.
p.s. " "xwin jwm" works fine for me.
is there a thread that explain how to install the things like icewm cuz that doesn't work either.

install these, too:
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Multimedia/li ... 0.2.36.pup
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/XServer/DRI/OpenGL-B.pup
Then open a consolewindow, and type
enlightenment
This might report more errors or not.
If no more errors come about "missing ...", then exit X and type
xwin startenlightenment
or
xwin enlightenment
You can test icewm the same way, run
icewm
in a consolewindow, and look if it says something about "missing".
If something misses, post the message here (select with the mouse, then middleclick in a Forumposting to paste it).

icewm should work ... it is just 1 executable file, and should not need any extra library files ... and if the configuration files are missing, it should start anyway ... it should start if you kill X (for example, press ctrl+alt+backspace) then type:
startx icewm
if it does not start, there might be error messages in /tmp/xerrs.txt ... you can view the file by typing:
more /tmp/xerrs.txt
or
cat /tmp/xerrs.txt
or
mp /tmp/xerrs.txt
startx icewm
if it does not start, there might be error messages in /tmp/xerrs.txt ... you can view the file by typing:

cat /tmp/xerrs.txt

mp /tmp/xerrs.txt

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).
