Would you mind sharing your patch? Non-experts like myself who expect the GUI to simply 'just work' and not have to fiddle with extraneous settings would *really* appreciate it.

[] I have effectively purged EFL 1.26 / E 0.25 / Terminology 1.12 -- I can not work using those components. I tried installing a different theme; I also had tried deleting the whole .e/ directory and starting anew -- yet the original issues persisted. I have, by now, reverted to EFL 1.25 / E 0.24, etc. as, 'E all just simply works out of the box' [TM] ;-) < http://www.enlightenment.org/ss/e-61e113fde367a6.22209525.jpg > Additionally, the default Dark Theme is simply beautiful -- especially because of the xiuhtzin ['turquoise'] detail color contrast. Yandex-browser beta, Chromium, and Textadept, simply open up at the required size in relation to the screen size/resolution. The fonts, needless to say, also display at the proper size; heck, even WMaker, my fall back window manager, displays all those applications properly -- without font issues, nor app to screen resolution/size mismatches.
