That all comes down to good 'Profiles' support right? I think desktop layout should be included in profile support. Another cool thing this could do, is add a sort of Profile hinting in the theme/ data then ask the user if they want to set that profile when the theme is applied. Another thing is allowing the user to say, "This is a replica of Raster's Desktop using his own Profile settings and theme! *Gloat Gloat* " Or even letting people try out different arrangements and feels without too much hassle. eg. heres an old layout I was using when tinkering with Fireball. (Ignore the Facebook) http://members.iinet.net.au/~haste/e17/layouttest.png Icon themes. You might all be aware im tinkering away with making a gnome2edje icon builder. Id like it to be able to pull all the needed files for things used internally for E, (like Theme, Virtual Desktops, Modules) which wont ever follow a specific MIME type icon. As such, an 'Icons' section would be nice with checks for 1. e/icons/enlightenment/e 2. e/icons/enlightenment/unknown 3. e/icons/enlightenment/configuration 4. e/icons/enlightenment/modules 5. e/icons/enlightenment/themes As discussed on IRC, MIME types in EFM should really be coming from the "Icon Theme" selector. Same with the icons for the 'Desktop' 'Home' 'Root' icons from the E favorites menu. There are icons to handle those! (user-desktop.png, user-home.png) But yeh, thats my 2 cents.
