No. But feel free to make one. :wink:

wierd. Just tried to reemerge entrance and I get this error:

* CVS modules e17/apps/entrance is now in /var/tmp/portage/entrance-9999/work
cp: missing destination file
Try 'cp --help' for more information.

!!! ERROR: x11-misc/entrance-9999 failed.
!!! Function gettext_modify, Line 85, Exitcode 1
!!! could not copy gettextsize

It worked the last time I tried it. The only thing I've done (which is quite a big change) since then is play around with my CFLAGS and emerge -e world. No other package suffers this problem. I've tried removing the CFLAGS I added and the problem stays the same.

So, being the brave (or is it silly) sot that I am, I decided today that it was time to start messing with E17. Wow, cool stuff. A lot different than the fluxbox I have been using for the last couple of years. Anyhow, I am most impressed with engage. I currently have the CVS version of E17 and engage compiled and running quite nicely. However, I was wondering if there is a way to change the theme for engage without a bunch of code hacking (not that I can't, I'm just kinda lazy like that). I loaded engage in fluxbox with the Gentoo theme and I really liked that theme better than the default one.

Any help is appreciated.

And props to all of the E developers out there. If this CVS version of E17 rocks this hard, I can't wait to see the final release.

You need to "hack" your way through the engage source. No big deal actually. all you have to do is change some pictures and/or colours (I have mine transparent).

OK. I figured as much, but thought I would ask first. I did try this:

Get-E.org has the instructions.

E17 has been quite stable for me. I built everything from cvs yesterday, and no major problems so far. I do find myself restarting E17 a lot, but that may just be me. I am using engage as my dock.

Eclair won't respond after I push play.
Evidence seems to work nicely.
Gonna play with Entrance here in a couple of days. I messed with it some, but it seems that there is some config'ing that I have to do.

So overall I am very impressed. For CVS code that should be unstable, this is stable as hell.

eclair doesn't even want to compile on my pc

everything else works fine though

just disappointed that the module version of engage isn't in e_modules ebuild ..

In the last month I had 2, maybe 3 crashes... all related to gkrellmms.

About eclair playing.. you have to nudge the time slider a little. It'll start playing. And on that note... I heard euphoria hit CVS a day or two ago. More work for jxn

? (building an ebuild that is).

Anyone have problems with base modules(ibar, pager, clock, etc...) when I try to load one of these modules I get this error. This happened ~5 days ago after updating e. I've tried reinstalling e17 and removing ~/.e without luck

EDIT: forgot to mention that dropshadows works

I guess my next question is, is it still as light and fast as e16 or does all the fancy new things build it up and slow it down ?
