Enlightenment is a new philosophy in Window Managers. The premise is simple enough- complete control. AfterStep & WindowMaker both look good, but when it comes right down to it, they are still just TWM derivatives.

E allows complete control. If you put effort into learning the config system (which someday will be automated) you will discover that this WM allows you to truly do whatever you want. If you can create an image, you can make your WM look like it.

ePlus

So what you see here is my latest attempt to ignore Real Life and write stupid programs. It is an attempt to consolidate my vast array of Afterstep/WindowMaker docklets into a single, fully configurable program.

The image above shows off ePlus's WaveForm display (Available in DR5 and based mostly on Raster's very cool Wayve program) and CD Player.

The image below shows the clock module (all the features from eClock have moved into this code, the load module, the mixer module, and of course the netdev module (blinky lights... so hypnotic)

You also see the CD Changer, and the new FS Monitor which joins the roster in DR7.

Everything is fully customizable from size, to shape to location to which modules you load (defined at compile or run time) with config file structure virtually identical to E itself.

DR4

  • New CD Player Module
  • Defaults will hopefully compile on pre 2.1 kernels.
  • Fixes to most of the modules

  • Lower CPU Usage

  • New images for the load module
  • Numerous Bug Fixes that make this a must-have for anyone running an older version.

  • Net-Dev Modules (similiar to modem for net devices)
  • Color Map Module
  • Many new and improved images
  • Definable onTop or not

    Themes:Obsidian
    After the positive response that Flaunt got, I had no choice but to start over and try to top myself. The result is Obsidian. My new theme is currently under construction- the screenshot you see here is from a version that is about 2/3rds complete.

    Once again, 1600x1200 is the target resolution, but this time around, scaling it back should be much easier for the brave of heart.

    My inspirations here was a cool sequence in Star Trek II and 2001. My lovely girlfriend Jessica pushed pretty hard in a lot of ways that really made this much better than it might of been.

  • Obsidian 1600x1200 DR12 My Original Version
    Send me other versions and I'll post them here! Please don't redistribute Obsidian elsewhere- send them here so they get the latest version.

    ePlus currently ships with a default theme designed for Obsidian. If you like Obsidian, you'll love ePlus!

    Themes:Flaunt
    What you see here is flaunt- my first Enlightenment theme. The package is a compete replacement of the standard E look & feel, and fully takes advantage of all of DR11's great new features.

    The real catch is that Flaunt was designed for my monitor- and at 1600x1200 it sure looks good. Inferior resolutions should use at their own risk. Other versions are available- but I can't be held responsible- please don't e-mail about them.

  • FLAUNT 1600 DR12 The Original created by me. Note that my DR12 Flaunt comes configured to use Eclock and a hacked asmodem, so consider it a work in progress.
  • FLAUNT 1152 DR11 hacked by mandrake
  • FLAUNT 800 DR12 hacked by Raul Wegmann (rwegmann@geocities.com)

    Eclock
    Get v0.2.

    eClock Users:My intent is that ePlus shall replace eClock. You should probably consider this a dead program- ePlus has all the features of eClock- plus many more.
