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 .

Thanks Mark,

no reason to be ashamed

Does it work now?

Yes it works fine, but littlebit strange for me.
We have to know each other first.

Anyway, I like very much the backgrounds and themes.
Well done!

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.

#99 Post by MU » Thu 11 May 2006, 18:06

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

I think Enlightenment may require you to be using Xorg rather than XVESA. You can change that using the Setup X Video Wizard.

heres the thing, ive downloaded a big file from the enlightenment site, and some other things that it says to download with it. I just don't know where to unpack all this stuff, how it works or anything.

im using enlightenment in puppy2.01... i noticed that the menu or icons on the left is not updated... how can i edit them? thanks...

#106 Post by MU » Tue 27 Jun 2006, 15:32

the menu:
To add own entries:
left-click on desktop, Puppy -> E16 -> menueditor.

To update the imported Jwm-menu:
left-click on desktop, Puppy -> E16 -> reload Puppymenu

To edit the icons:
left-click on desktop, Puppy -> E16 -> MU-e16-tools -> edit iconbar.

wow... everything was made so easy... thanks for the work! just have a question... when im trying to maximize a window it will only extend at the bottom of the epplets and not cover the whole screen... how can i fix this? also i cant find how to change the color of the title bars...

#108 Post by MU » Tue 27 Jun 2006, 16:04

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.

ok.. thanks for the replies... just wondering... in my 1028x768 resolution, the icons are somewhat large... is there a way to make them smaller by not changing the resolution?

#110 Post by MU » Tue 27 Jun 2006, 16:26

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).
