e16 Enlightenment Window Manager

Filed under: doghouse

I’ve been having fun futzing with Enlightenment a.k.a. E16 or just E.  I was a mazed when I grabbed my conky in the pager and was able to move it around on the screen.  That’s one hell of a window manager.  I am running the gnome panel on the desktop but no Nautilus and minimal gnome stuff.  This works a lot better than replacing Metacity with E.  Nautilus hogs the mouse buttons.  This is the default Orange Juice theme with my background picture.

Enlightenment window manager 

grub-gfxboot

I used to have the nice Suse graphical grub menu "grub-gfxboot" installed but, with Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex the stage1 files do not read correctly.  I had to chroot into the Intrepid system and then remove grub-gfxboot and do a grub-install.  Not fun.  I’m sure this will get fixed after Intrepid is fully released.

On the Intrepid hard disk I have Enlightenment (e16) as the window manager instead of Metacity.  I’m learning how to make a theme for Enlightenment.  More fun than compiz, IMO.
