Welcome to Get-E.org

Enlightenment DR 17 is a next-generation window manager for UNIX operating systems. It is currently in a pre-alpha stage and is under heavy development. A fairly large community already uses the development version from CVS on a daily basis though. Note that E17 is not officially supported at this stage, but people are free to try it out of course, but the standard disclaimers for pre-alpha software apply.

What we are

Welcome to the E17 users' portal. This site aims to provide high quality eyecandy for your e17 desktop experience.
We're trying to keep all content up to date, but sometimes we may not be able to keep up with the E17 development - some content may be outdated every now and then. Please take a look around and enjoy the stay.


New e17 Theme 'Dali' - Brian 'morlenxus' Miculcy [All my articles] (Fri, 29 Dec 2006 00:02:35 +0000)

Horray - we have a new theme. :)
It's called 'Dali' - named like the famous painter. Benjamin Chadwick did create this theme to show people what they can do with e17. You need to check the theme to see what he mean. The modules do look really nice. Maybe this theme will also encourage people to create more interesting themes which really use the power of edje.

Here's a more detailed information about the theme: The clock (conceptually) comes from the Persistence of Memory (1931), Dali's famous "Melting Clocks" painting. The battery gauge is a modified pyramid present in his Temptation of St. Anthony (1946). The temperature egg comes from the frequent appearance of eggs in Dali's work. The Pomegranite on the start menu comes from his Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bumblebee around a Pomegranite a Second Before Awakening (1944) -- whew!

While the clock-module is fairly self-explanatory, here's a note on the egg and the pyramid:
The pyramid has five "lights" which go from all-green to all-red as your battery runs out.
The temperature egg begins to crack as it heats, eventually bursting open to drip yellow goo all over your screen (don't forget to calibrate it in the module configuration).
