The actual reason I wanted to run Linux was that I saw somebody at work using Enlightenment! and it had a transparent terminal window. I wanted to have that. And some years later, here I am. :-) What I personally like to use to show off are windowing themes that are not just different colours. I user E! to show off here a picture (Normally there is a different background, but this is for clearaty) http://houghi.org/shots/enlightenment-001.jpg Especially for those who think that Linux is still text based. Now I also give them the following links to show how textbase Linux is: http://www.rasterman.com/files/e17_movie-00.avi http://www.rasterman.com/files/e17_movie-01.avi http://www.rasterman.com/files/e17_movie-02.avi http://www.rasterman.com/files/e17_movie-03.avi I do not use E! myself, I use WindowMaker with almost boring colors. When I am working on XP, the first thing I do is turn to the old sceme, but I do understand that pretty colours are important. houghi -- Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
