You either mistakenly or intentionally got it wrong. I guess me writing E (while actually meaning EFL + E) was also confusing. Obviously if customizability is a main feature of your "product", those features are essential and should not be dropped. I was more talking about adding elm widgets just for the sake of it, or thinking about adding things. Also, I don't completely agree with everything he said, but it's still a good read and I think everyone should take some things from it. -- Tom. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
