hoooly crap, those movies look great. The embedded version especially.
As soon as this hits beta stages I'm going to be all over this. (Only have one computer with a gui at school and can't afford to have it crashing tooo often unfortunately :-\)

for the bg just need to change the default theme, you should be able to find default.edc. just change e17_brushed.png to your needs

for the transparent term

it's a trick

, in fact i Esetroot the same wallpaper that is used on my e17 bg theme

the default.edc can be found in cvs-tree data/themes. then you have to edit default.edc, there are two lines discribing the background image, i also removed the part with the effect over the image, and put in the correct resolution (offset)

then in that dir do a: edje_cc -id images -fd ../fonts/ default.edc default.eet

copy the new default.eet to /usr/local/share/enlightenment/data/themes

and restart.. done

[edit] ^^ lol

ok, for a more understandable explanation check out http://lude.net/edocs/guide.htm#config_background

Might be a stupid question, but how do you start engage automatically (along with e17) instead of iconbar?
I've looked around but couldn't find any answer...

Hello all,

It is finally time to announce our unofficial e17 documentation site publicly. It should have the answers to all your questions. All e17 components from CVS currently build fine. I just rebuilt all e17 things ~30 minutes ago. So without further ado, the #edocumentation crew are proud to announce that our site is finally complete:

http://lude.net/edocs/

We currently have a large guide for everything concerning e17 and some videos and screenshots of various e17 components.
The site is still lacking some small things, mostly stuff for non-Gentoo distributions. All Gentoo specific instructions are complete, as most writers of the guide are Gentoo users :) If you wish to contribute, contact us @ #edocumentation on freenode irc.

Big thanks to lude for hosting us!

I was able to compile everything successfully from the 9999 ebuilds except for Evidence is anyone else having problems compiling evidence it looks like a problem with declaring time_t

Running it now though, everything works/looks great!

The 9999 ebuilds builds from CVS afaik ... so you can just use them, however they are masked so you need to add them to your /etc/portage/package.keywords

here is an example of mine:

Is it just me, or do the Minimize and restore buttons not have any functionality yet? (I understand this is incomplete software, I am just curious wether or not this is part of the incompleteness)

Hi all, I've been thinking about e's l10n since e16. As in e16, IIRC, it uses the old (?) X font rendering system and something like "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to describe fonts. and the most terrible thing is, some of the themes has textclasses.cfg to configure fonts like this:
