Playing with enlightenment....

So, as I mentioned that I am returning to my KDE, I did. But then, this new thing, Enlightenment kept me wanting to explore more, customize it and make it easy. So, I explored more...

yum install entangle e_utils

Then, I typed,
enlightenment_remote -module-load engage

And then, there was a new panel for me, which could have icons and supported the system tray. We can edit it using 'entangle'. To delete an icon, just middle click it. To add a new icon, drag-n-drop from the list given on the left, simple isn't it? No. To find out an icon for "konsole" from the list on the left, it took me 5 mins, and I am still looking for 'kaffeine', hehe.

There is a run command which apparently appeared after installing e_utils.
We can use e_util_eapp_edit to create our custom application links, but I don't know how it works.

When I run gaim, engage, the panel, shows it in the system tray, so thats now something familiar, hehe. I am trying to get some new themes into it and trying to learn to create a shortcut for my applications. And for gods sake, where are my DESKTOP ICONS!!
