paul@135 34 <h3>Enlightenment (e17)</h3>
paul@135 35 <p>
paul@135 36 Enlightenment is a complete desktop environment, fully configurable with the
paul@135 37 mouse and offering many themes. The version supplied by the SliTaz project
paul@135 38 is known as e17 and is still in development, this version is considered stable
paul@135 39 enough to be incorporated into the distribution. Enlightenment was designed to
paul@135 40 be deployed on systems with limited resources, as well as more powerful
paul@135 41 systems. It allows for wallpapers, menus, animated and interactive gadgets
paul@135 42 and knows how to manage virtual desktops. To install e17:
paul@135 43 </p>
paul@135 44 <pre> # tazpkg get-install enlightenment
paul@135 45 </pre>
paul@135 46 <p>
paul@135 47 Logout your current X session, type <code>F1</code> at Slim login and choose
paul@135 48 <code>e17</code> to start Enlightenment.
paul@135 49 </p>
paul@135 50 <h4>Menu and desktop icons</h4>
paul@135 51 <p>
paul@135 52 Enlightenment is compliant to the Freedesktop standards.
paul@135 53 Applications are sorted by category and icons automatically appear
paul@135 54 if a desktop file is supplied. The (<code>.desktop</code>) system files are
paul@135 55 contained in the <code>/usr/share/applications</code> directory or hidden home
paul@135 56 <code>~/.local/share/applications</code> directory. These files
paul@135 57 have a simple syntax and are editable from the panel or with
paul@135 58 a simple text editor. The file menus displaying categories
paul@135 59 in the Enlightenment menu are found in the <code>slitaz-menus</code>
paul@135 60 package:
paul@135 61 </p>
paul@135 62 <pre> # tazpkg get-install slitaz-menus
paul@135 63 </pre>
paul@135 64 <h4>An icon on the desktop</h4>
paul@135 65 <p>
paul@135 66 To have an icon on the desktop launching applications, you can
paul@135 67 create by hand a <code>.desktop</code> file in your local directory
paul@135 68 <code>~/Desktop</code>. Desktop files placed in this directory are automatically
paul@135 69 recognized by Enlightenment. A single .desktop file can
paul@135 70 contain eight lines with respectively:- the name (<code>Name</code>), generic
paul@135 71 name, comment, the command to execute (<code>Exec</code>), icon, type
paul@135 72 and Freedesktop categories. Example of a .desktop file for Xterm icon:
paul@135 73 </p>
paul@135 74 <pre class="script">[Desktop Entry]
paul@135 75 Name=XTerm
paul@135 76 GenericName=Terminal
paul@135 77 Comment=Run commands in a shell
paul@135 78 Exec=xterm -bg black -fg white -cr orange -sb -bd violet -rightbar
paul@135 79 Icon=/usr/share/icons/Tango/jwm/utilities-terminal.png
paul@135 80 Type=Application
paul@135 81 Categories=Utility;Terminal;
paul@135 82 </pre>
paul@135 83 <p>
