@sebbeks

Hahaha. Love SuperPunchOut. I can still finish the game pretty easy ... use to play it alot around 15 years ago! haha

Wow, that one ugly desktop. I didn't had a desktop that ugly since 1995. The only visible improvement is 24bpp colours.

@newtubetubetube

it is merely a window manager... not a Desktop environment.... but I can add a DE on top if I feel like it and theme it however I please

[newtubetubetube]

@Linux4UnMe Who said anything about desktop environment? I surly didn't. Back in 1995, all you had on your desktop is a window manager, a app launcher, xterms and netscape for porn.

And by the way, e17 is a full desktop shell(eg: fancy word for environment).

Now get off my lawn.

lol geez, talk about touchy....

I didn't say that you did call it a D.E.... I was referring to window managers obviously don't look that great and have limited themeing ability where as if I wanted to chuck a full DE on top of this window manager I could make it look more modern..... and yes it is a near full desktop shell, but the fact you can add a full DE and use the e17 environment at the same time still classes it as a window manager in my books... but it is expanding

I definitely want this on my Arch! Yeah!!

@NautilusMortanian You can always edit your desktop menu and add the items you need. XFCE is a very cleverly made suite,fast and functional and minimalistic, and I prefer it over Gnome3, KDE and even Gnome2 regardless of the hardware. Compiz is a great manager with many unneeded plugins, and it becomes your best friend as soon as you disable those you don't need and configure the rest. I use it extensively, it does its job well and stays out of the way, handy even with undecorated windows.

[aleclitvinov]

I'm currently uzing Compiz/LXDE on my netbook, Compiz mainly for handy desktop/window management from keyboard, I don't like any menu or cursor animations. E17 is similar to this setup in terms of size, but I have never tried it - can you tell me if it's as fast and as comfortable in switching between apps? Can it scale windows down while switching, or show all desktops at once and let you arrange the open windows between them? And if not, are there any other instruments of that kind?

[NautilusMortanian]

Little features like right clicking anywhere on the desktop for full menu access... makes me think to the functional beauty of full filesystem access from a drop down menu in BeOS. Linux lost this, largely. Now we have Unity and Gnome 3, ugly broken desktop implementations which obfuscate the essential bits of computers from the user, compiz crazy bling, am I playing an arcade game or trying to get things done? Enlightenment solves this for me. in summary, @newtubetubetube, I miss 1995.

@Techneek21 said "You're joking right?"

Nope. The effect look hasty done, poorly realized and it really look like my 1995 desktop. But that just me been old, i guess younger audience must like that.

[Techneek21]

@newtubetubetube You're joking right?

rox huh??
