how i install Enlightenment desktop on slackware-current
and whare i get a packade and lib for it
thanks

I've never tried it so don't blame me if it doesn't work.

or just visit the official enlightenment site and download the source. it includes a README and INSTALL file to walk you through the install process.

ok i will try it

Let us know if it works. I've been thinking about trying it also.

It works, but Enlightenment's not my thing, so I didn't use it for very long.

I got lost making the initialization file that let's me choose the window manager in 'xwmconfig'

Anyone know how to do that stuff?

The initialization files read by xwmconfig are stored in /etc/X11/xinit. Have a look at the files that already exist in that directory, and post if you need more.

thanks dugan, i got it now.

in enlightenment, when you minimize a program, where does it go? I see that you can click somewhere that there is no program, and choose "windows" and it lists your app's, but does the enlightenment have a "task bar"? it's kind of tedious to multi-task.

thanks,

i have not used enlightenment in a long long time, but when you minimize an app it does seem to disapear from view, i suggest you try rightclick on the desktop for a menu and middleclick on the desktop for another menu and leftclick on the desktop for still another menu, lots of window managers use this menu scheme rather than a task bar, some have an iconbox...

Here is E17 I compiled from CVS not long ago.

Maybe someone will find it usefull.

thanks okie.

I was afraid of that.

Blackbox does that too. The first few times you wonder where did my poor app go?

lol randux your right. I gave up on blackbox and moved over to flux becuase it gives the taskbar and icons.

I just tried enlightenment today, and honestly I can't forsee myself getting in to it. It's just awefully combersome to me to have to find my miniminzed/iconified programs by right click,etc. The enlightenment is however extremely responsive to clicks, right clicks, etc on an old pc, I just think that I'll spend too much time navigating menu's. flux is so easy to add stuff to the menu's i think i stick with that.

I'll stick with flux. Now I lay in hope that someone answers my other thread on how to get more than one icon on my desktop in idesk on flux

I am a flux-adept too

Btw last time I tried Enlightenment on Slack my changes were never saved when I exited and re-entered Enlight...quite strange...
