Customizing Enlightenment

[beajedi]

Hey guys, I'm running Enlightenment on a Red Hat 7 distribution.

I'm having trouble customizing my desktop.

So far, I've figured out how to customize the menu thing when you click on the desktop. However, I don't know how to make icons appear on the desktop. Also, there's a very annoying help cloud that pops up in front of me if I keep the cursor idle on the desktop for more than 5 seconds.

The icons aren't that important, but can someone please tell me how to eradicate that stupid help cloud thing?!

For the help cloud turn off tool tip( in mine it the right mouse menu..) But i could be the wheel button

For Desktop icons.Not sure what E comes with RH but really there is no Desktop Icons... I do not use but try rox filer...

For configuration there is a proggy called E-Conf - dunno if that comes with redhat - u could probably download it otherwise.

If u aren't able to get that - I would recommend another tool called e16keyedit which lets u assign shortcut keys to open apps and do other stuff. I use it all the time.

Enlightenment 16.5 is only a window manager - so it doesn't provide a way of putting icons on the desktop - mebbe there is some other program for that....

Anyway, Enlightenment ROCKS!! Its fast to start, but still looks COOL!! Waitin for Enlightenment 17 (E17) when it is going to become a Desktop Environment (yay) !!

hope that helps,
