Just a quick follow-up... I ran a naked X session (no window manager, just an xterm), and this time xev shows there are keycodes detected when i press the brightness buttons. As expected, they're off by 8 from the terminal's keycodes. And xmodmap shows that these keycodes are what they're supposed

From: Peter Flynn pe...@silmaril.ie This is a very common occurrence in all Linux interfaces I have used. I *believe* it's because the loading of entry names, icons, paths, etc is done at the time your cursor hovers on the menu (aka in real time, just-in-time, etc), and it take a lot of

I see something odd in the menubar, menus, and dialog boxes: options that are greyed out don't appear as grey (or another colour), but instead appear in a sort of double-strike style. Not quite bold, but instead the individual characters are overlayed by a duplicate, shifted down and right one

Re: [e-users] systray replacement

2014-10-07 Thread Conrad Hill-Knight
From: Carsten Haitzler (The Rasterman) ras...@rasterman.com i don't ever even need a systray - i haven't for years. So what DO you do about programs that run mostly in the background, but need some kind of place to display an icon for interacting with them? e.g. Skype, Pidgin, even Chrome

[e-users] systray replacement

2014-10-06 Thread Conrad Hill-Knight
The consensus seems to be that the systray in E19 is broken, and there are no intentions to fix it. What would be a suitable E-like replacement? What are people using right now, given that the current systray keeps losing its icons? Thanks! -- Whenever and wherever you want.

Ok, I managed to track all crashes down to attempts to draw icons in the systray. As far as I knew I didn't have one. I tried adding one to the shelf and got an error message telling me there already was one and you can only have one. A bit more hunting through settings and i found there was a

[e-users] Window placement across desktops?

Returning to Enlightenment after a long absence (E17 was pre-release, i seem to remember) and am not able to find much in the way of end user documentation for E18. The first thing i'd like to tweak is window placement across desktops. Currently i can drag a window towards the edge of my desktop,

Hi all, Using E17 with Ubuntu 13.10, in case it makes a difference. I did not like Unity at all, and remembered E16 from when i had a linux desktop way back, so installed E17. I've only just gotten around to attempting to tweak settings, and i think i tweaked something i shouldn't have... The
