It is here assumed that --prefix is /usr, and that the default user configuration directory (~/.e16) is used. In general, the configuration search order for theme related configuration files, say xyz.cfg, is: 1) User configuration directory, i.e. ~/.e16/xyz.cfg. 2) Theme directory, i.e. /usr/share/e16/themes//xyz.cfg, or ~/.e16/themes//xyz.cfg. 3) Default configuration directory, i.e. /usr/share/e16/config/xyz.cfg. Mouse and keybindings are defined in bindings.cfg. bindings.cfg is searched in 1) User configuration directory, i.e. ~/.e16/bindings.cfg. 2) Default configuration directory, i.e. /usr/share/e16/config/bindings.cfg. Window matches (border and icon associations) are defined in windowmatches.cfg and matches.cfg. windowmatches.cfg (deprecated, border associations only) is loaded first, and should be found only in theme directories. matches.cfg is loaded next, and searched in 1) User configuration directory, i.e. ~/.e16/matches.cfg. 2) Default configuration directory, i.e. /usr/share/e16/config/matches.cfg. Window match items are appended to the window match list, in the order in which they are read from the configuration files. When doing border/icon matches, the window match list is searched from the start, and the first matching item will be used.

This facilitates the loading of system tray applets, rss readers, screensavers, and other daemons (e.g. dbus), and allows for cleanup of programs that don't terminate properly when E quits (this is especially common with KDE applications in E and the arts daemon or dcop server keeps running). Enlightenment accomplishes this with the addition of two new keys in the $ECONFDIR/e_config--#.#.cfg (#.# may vary depending on your X setup -- for most people, it will be 0.0). These are: misc.session.enable_script misc.session.script misc.session.enable_script is a boolean. When set to 1, Enlightenment will execute the script in the misc.session.script key. By default, this feature is disabled. When enabled, it will do nothing until the user configures his/her home directory ($ECONFDIR -- normally ~/.e16). The default session.script is located in $EROOT/scripts/session.sh ($EROOT is normally /usr/share/e16 or /usr/local/share/e16). It will look for directories in the user's $ECONFDIR/ (~/.e16/) called: ~/.e16/ ($ECONFDIR) Init/ Start/ Stop/ and run any and/or all scripts or executables in each when E starts, restarts, and shuts down. If no scripts or executables are present, or if any of the directories Init, Start, and Stop do not exist, NOTHING will happen and E will start up as usual. So, in order to use session scripts, all the user has to do is to populate the Init, Start, and Stop directories with scripts, applications, or links to applications that should run during Startup, Restart, or when E is stopped. The default values for the new keys are: misc.session.enable_script = 0 misc.session.script = $EROOT/scripts/session.sh The user may write a custom script and place it anywhere. Simply modify the config file by using: $ eesh set misc.session.script myscript and modify it (be sure to chmod +x the file otherwise it won't run). The session script is called with one of three command parameters; init, start, and stop. Any custom script should have a code block similar to this in order to function properly in Enlightenment. case "$1" in init) # do blah # or do function init start) # do blah # of do function start stop) # do blah # or do function stop esac Automatic script running can be enabled/disabled via the Session Settings dialog in Enlightenment and checking/unchecking the option Enable Session Script, by editing the user cfg file and setting the misc.session.enable_script key to 1/0, or with $ eesh set misc.session.enable_script 1/0 This process is very flexible since when used, the user can turn off individual scripts and applications by chmod -x or simply leave the startup directories empty or remove them. Composite manager notes ----------------------- To use the composite manager it is required that the X-server has support enabled for the COMPOSITE, DAMAGE, FIXES, and RENDER extensions. For reasonable performance it is also required that hardware acceleration of the RENDER extension is enabled. As of version 0.16.8.2 it may happen that the borders on application windows using ARGB visuals (for transparency) are "ugly". Applications may use ARGB visuals intentionally (e.g. fdclock) or not (e.g. xv on 16 bit root depth). Applications unintentionally using an ARGB visual will normally not be rendered properly at all and should be started with the environment variable XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS set. To fix border rendering on "real" ARGB windows it is required to use imlib2 with version >= 1.3.0. Tweaks: As of e16 >= 0.16.8.9: If there is any kind of trouble with the composite manager, first check compmgr.mode (eesh show compmgr), and set it to 1 if it isn't (eesh set compmgr.mode 1, restart). If pop-up windows disappear immediately after having appeared (may happen e.g. with certain pop-up windows when using gnome > 2.12), try: $ eesh set compmgr.override_redirect.mode 0 This should make the pop-up windows usable, but not always rendered properly. This problem should not occur with recent X-servers. If window resize/shading with composite enabled is ugly, try: $ eesh set compmgr.resize_fix_enable 1 This problem should not occur with recent X-servers. Fonts ----- Theme font selection depends on a number of settings and whether or not the theme has font alias support. For themes with font alias support the fonts are determined by a font configuration file. This file is selected as follows, first hit applies: - If theme.use_alt_font_cfg is set (default off) and the the file specified by theme.font_cfg is found the fonts are determined by this file. - If theme.use_theme_font_cfg is set (default off) and the theme has a fonts.theme.cfg the fonts are determined by the theme's fonts.theme.cfg. - If e16 was built with pango support, look for fonts.pango.cfg. - If e16 was built with xft support, look for fonts.xft.cfg. - Look for fonts.cfg. The font configuration file search path is ~/.e16, , and /usr/share/e16/config. Default fonts.pango.cfg and fonts.xft.cfg are provided in /usr/share/e16/config. The default theme (winter) and the core themes (BlueSteel, BrushedMetal-Tigert, Ganymede, and ShinyMetal) do have font alias support. Don Harrop has made available a major number of e16 themes which have been modified for font alias support (http://themes.effx.us). Other themes are likely to not have font alias support but in stead have font references more or less scattered around in TextClass definitions in the theme configuration files. There are several ways to specify a font (in the font configuration file or in TextClasses): - "/", e.g. "Vera/8". In this case e16 must be able to find "Vera.ttf" in /ttfonts or /usr/share/e16/fonts. - XLFD font sets, e.g. "-*-lucida-medium-r-normal-*-12-120-*-*-*-*-*-*,-*-gulim*-medium-r-normal-*-12-120-*-*-*-*-ksc5601.1987-*". xfontsel, xlsfonts, and xfd can be used to select and show these fonts. - Fontconfig font names, prefixed by "xft:", e.g. "xft:Luxi Sans-10:bold". fc-list and xfd can be used to select and show these fonts. This possibility (Xft support) is available as of version 0.16.8.5. - Pango font names, prefixed by "pango:", e.g. "pango:sans bold 10". This possibility (Pango support) is available as of version 0.16.8.9. Pango support must be explicitly enabled at build time with --enable-pango. Using e16 with GNOME -------------------- Setting up e16 as WM in a GNOME session unfortunately depends on the version of gnome-session. Recent versions of gnome-session seem to require that a gconf key is set and that an e16.desktop file can be found: $ gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager --type string e16 $ gnome-sesssion /usr/share/applications/e16.desktop (or ~/.local/share/applications/e16.desktop): [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Type=Application Name=E16 Comment=The Enlightenment (e16) window manager Exec=e16 Icon=/usr/share/e16/misc/e16.png The section below seems to be obsolete as of gnome-session-2.2x(?) The GNOME desktop can be started using e16 as WM with: $ export WINDOW_MANAGER=e16 $ gnome-sesssion The section below is obsolete as of gnome-session-2.16 However, somewhere along the way the script /usr/bin/gnome-wm is called. This is supposed to handle differences in all the different WM's out there, but does not know of "e16". This will cause a major delay when starting up the GNOME desktop. One way to fix this is to use gnome-session-properties to get rid of the "gnome-wm" session entry. Another is to apply this patch to /usr/bin/gnome-wm: --- /usr/bin/gnome-wm-org 2005-04-19 21:33:53.000000000 +0200 +++ /usr/bin/gnome-wm 2005-11-15 20:46:09.000000000 +0100 @@ -69,7 +69,7 @@ OPT2= if [ ! -z "$SMID" ] ; then case `basename $WINDOW_MANAGER` in - sawfish|sawmill|metacity) + sawfish|sawmill|metacity|e16) OPT1=--sm-client-id=$SMID ;; openbox) Using e16 with KDE ------------------ The KDE desktop can be started using e16 as WM with: $ export KDEWM=e16 $ startkde Major changes and new features in 0.16.8 ---------------------------------------- The following sections are only relevant for users upgrading from version 0.16.7 or older. Changes: - "enlightenment" has been renamed to "e16". - The default user configuration directory is "~/.e16". - The data install path is "/e16", e.g. "/usr/share/e16". Thus, an e16.8 installation should not clash with any other versions. - Various configuration file formats have changed and should be easier to read and modify, if needed. - The configuration is stored per display and per screen. E.g. for DISPLAY=:1.0 the main configuration file is "~/.e16/e_config--1.0.cfg". - Actions(used by menus, keybindings, etc.) and IPC functions(eesh) have been merged. - Many IPC(eesh) commands have been changed, possibly breaking compatibility with a few epplets. - Window matches and icondefs have been merged (into matches.cfg), see below. New features: - Built-in composite manager. - An iconbox can be configured to act as System Tray (middle mouse->Desktop->Create Systray). - Possibility to run programs on startup, restart, and shutdown, see "Session Scripts" below. - Possibility to track changes in remembered settings. - Window operations by window matches (class, name, transient, ...), e.g. for making all windows of a certain type sticky, put it on a certain layer, etc. (see matches.cfg). 0.16.8 should be compatible with most e16 themes. However, user installed themes will have to be moved/linked to ~/.e16/themes/ or /e16/themes/. A few themes will have to be tweaked to work with e16.8. The most likely problem is that configuration settings are included in .cfg files where they are no longer accepted. See the "Migrating ..." section below for additional information. e16keyedit >= 0.3 works with e16.8. If used to change the keybindings, the modified settings will be stored in ~/.e16/bindings.cfg. It should also be fairly straightforward to modify the key- and buttonbindings by hand. Copy /usr/share/e16/config/bindings.cfg to ~/.e16/bindings.cfg and modify as desired. NB! e16keyedit only modifies keybindings, not buttonbindings. NB!!! Do not rename ~/.enlightenment to ~/.e16. It will only cause trouble. Migrating from versions older than 0.16.8 ----------------------------------------- Users upgrading from enlightenment 0.16.7 need to read the following. Several organizational changes have occurred that will require some manual adjustments. Mainly these deal with changes to configuration and shared directory names. This was done to avoid collisions with the new enlightenment DR17. 1) home configuration directory is now ~/.e16, not ~/.enlightenment. 2) menu files have been moved to a subdirectory called menus you will need to move customized menus and subdirectories to ~/.e16/menus. 3) you will need to move ~/.enlightenment/backgrounds files to ~/.e16 and any themes as well. 4) $prefix/share/enlightenment has been changed to $prefix/share/e16 5) if installed E-docs and Epplet directories will have to be moved to $prefix/share/e16 6) any additional themes that were added to the $prefix/share/enlightenment directory will have to be moved to $prefix/share/e16 7) any startup scripts or Session scripts that reference the startup executable `enlightenment` must be edited to the new e16 program. A few themes have to be tweaked to work with 0.16.8. Some themes (Maw, Black E) have an actionclasses.cfg like: #include __E_CFG_VERSION 0 #include #include The absolute path is obviously no longer valid. The most sensible fix for these themes is to remove the themes actionclasses.cfg. e16 will then fall back to the default one. Resources --------- The e16-docs package is somewhat dated but still contains much relevant information about using e16.
