i updated from cvs on wednesday, and now i seem to have lost the ability to apply themes.  unfortunately, on my box here at work, i don't have the luxury of running yum and installing packages at will.  at home, using Didier's repository, i have no trouble changing themes, but here, where i compiled it myself... no joy.

    i have noticed the following in my .xsession-errors: 
EDJE ERROR: An element in file /net/gorman/share/enlightenment/data/themes/default.edj, group widgets/configure/main has a non expandable
part not marked as fixed size in one dimension. This needs
to be fixed in the source .edc by adding:
  fixed: 1 1;
to the part that cannot expand in size if the Edje object does.
The part suspected causing this problem is:
  part: "button"
Will recalc min size not allowing broken parts to affect the result.

    that shows up upon opening the config panel.  other than that, though, i can't understand why it won't work.

    (it's worth pointing out that i'm installing everything under my home directory, so even though i whacked ~/.e, is it possible that i needed to nail stuff under ~/share, too?  could that be the issue?)



    one other thing i've noticed since updating, and i honestly can't remember if this applies at home or not, but when moving gadgets, you really have to keep the mouse close to the gadget (i.e., move things very slowly), or you "lose your grip" on the item being moved, and have to go "hook" it again.  just a minor quirk, nothing terrible, but worth noting.


    [definition of irony:  most of us use E because it looks so damned cool, and runs on linux, not the microsoft virus... funny, then, that some of us are so thrilled to see the shelf, which is basically (going to be) an Eified windoze taskbar. ;)]
