[gentoo-user] e17 default theme at fresh install

[András Csányi]

Hi All,

I installed e17 and at the first login everything worked but the fonts
were unreadable. I can't decide they are only to small or the font
type is the problem. I tried to figure out what is the problem and I
found this [1] in the Arch Linux Wiki. I installed both fonts but
nothing happened (I restarted my machine). I tried to copy these fonts
to ~/.e/e/fonts directory but it was unsuccessful.

I tried to found where can I change the fonts but it's impossible
because really unreadable the whole stuff, however install another
theme is impossible as well.

[1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/E17#Unreadable_fonts

Does have anybody any suggestion or advise what should I do?


Thanks in advance!

András

You will have better luck at the enlightenment user list:

enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users

I only know of 2 e17 users here.

e17 is a rapidly changing target, where "rapidly" often means 
"hourly". You should provide details of how you installed e17 and the 
efl, if it was via one of the many build scripts floating around, or 
from an overlay (and which one, there are 3 in common use!) Also which 
svn version of e17 you installed.

Fonts in e17 is something that for me always just worked.

I was an Enlightenment user for years, before I finally gave KDE
3.something a try. I ran it under the Gnome environment, but only one of
my 3x3 vortual desktops actually showed the Gnome desktop. Which I
liked, I did my multimedia stuff there, using Nautilus. Gnome also took
care of restoring my saved session. More or less, I already had trouble
with thisi in those days, sometimes all my terminals (15-20) opened all
on the first desktop. And I always had to shift my Galeon windows to
their dedicated positions after login.

I installed e17 two weeks ago, and played a little with it when I was
unable to log into KDE. But I did not too much configuring (yet). What I
missed was the ability to maximize windows vertically and horizontally
by pressing the maximize button with the middle or right mouse button,
one of th efirst features I liked about e16.
I had one problem with a Firefox window, that I was not able to access
any more. It kept appearing briefly when I switched to its desktop, and
scrolled away instantly.
When I had sorted out my KDE problem (this took hours, and I dit nore
really solve this, it just worked again after removing some plasmoids),
I did not try again. Not sure if I would like to use it as a KDE
replacement, but maybe with someconfiguring it would make a great window
manager.

Same here.
