6.2.2 - Theme Selector

The E17 theme format is not final. This is why there aren't many themes out yet. Themes will also become unusable if they aren't constantly updated to work with the latest theme format changes.

In order to switch to another theme, you can move EDJ theme files to ~/.e/e/themes or $PREFIX/share/enlightenment/data/themes (for example if you installed E17 to "../../.././/usr", then the directory is /usr/share/enlightenment/data/themes), OR you may use the theme selector's Import function and it will install the theme you choose into ~/.e/e/themes for you. You may then use the theme selector from the E17 control panel to select the theme.

All the graphics for modules that are included with E17 are controlled by the E17 theme file - modules included on the add-on page may require a custom module theme file to be in a certain directory, depending on the module in question.
