personally i think more work should just go into good well structured code that
has all the things done right instead of pointless "must follow the design
pixel-perfect" to and fro's. make sure everything is done/.modularised right
(and that doesnt in e's case mean make everything a package - e is not
package-drive. it's config and module driven).

The bottom bar is pretty useless and takes up valuable real estate. Is
there a way to disable it? (I already managed to remove the installer
from it)



you would need to "hide" the theme elements for it but that wont make it not
use space as the space is always allocated for it. this is what om's design
wanted. they want those 3 boxes at the bottom of every screen. its part of the
design.

as such i should make all these things optional and probably into gadgets - i
just didnt have the time to before to do it properly.
