Description: I have now moved all my work to the theme site
http://exchange.enlightenment.org
Its a specially designed theme site made specially for E17 and EFL. Ive uploaded all my themes there, including a couple new ones. I hope you can all join us on Exchange to make it a really strong community of talented themers and passionate E17 users. Last changelog:
1.0: Inital Release
1.1 -Fix for Gadman/con backgrounds. -Some initial efm designs. (Will become more themed once some more stability in efm is made.) -Other minor tweaks.
1.2 -Fix recent CVS update for pager. 'items' is now 'e.swallow.content' (If it doesn't work for you, update to recent CVS and try again.)
1.3.1 -Pager icons are back. Sorry for letting that one slip!
1.4 - New clock - Various little fixes - Added support for "Enlightenment Configuration" to be translated.
1.5 - New efm_nav refresh button - New border without the white pixel to choose from in the Border select - Battery size is fixed - Version is now stated in the About Theme dialog window.
1.6 - HUGE code cleanup. - Moved to new home on Exchange. - Added an iTask-NG theme - Reworked the Borders to be much smoother - Fade in effect in Dialogs and Config Panel
A small note: This version of Fireball will not work on older versions of E. Its built with compatibility with the most recent CVS. I urge you to keep up to date with CVS because theres always great things going into CVS. eg. the new Online wallpaper downloader. Consult wiki.enlightenment.org for building from CVS. Alternately, find a script that automates the process.
Please leave a comment on how this theme can be improved before rating this theme as "Bad" as Id really like to know why its getting voted down. Im planning a final 1.5 release and would really like to know what can be improved. So please, help me to help you.
Original clock was from Cthulhain by slack00d. Its available here... http://www0.get-e.org/Themes/E17/
You can set it back to the old clock via the advanced theme settings in the Theme dialog.
this is one of the best themes i've seen in a long time. clean, sexy...nice. the only niggle i have found is that the menus are a bit slow at times. but otherwise it's wonderful.
the theme is very good, clean and readable.
but the white pixels outside window borders are annoying. remove it should make the theme more comfortable.
Great looking theme!
I have a problem though. Configuration dialogs, 'application execution error'-dialogs, and such freeze. The only way to remove them from my screen is use another virtual desktop, minimize the dialogs, or restart e17.
This does not happen with the default theme.
I had this problem aswell. Ive been told the only way to fix this is to traceback the logic in the code. It will entail inserting printf() code into the cvs and then meticulously debugging it. Or so raster says. Using the most current CVS im not getting this anymore so maybe something was fixed for it. Or as sda suggests, removing your configs and starting new could fix the problem. All I know, is the most current CVS and most current fireball are just fine. But, I do know what youre talking about.
I did a e17-cvs rebuild today (build which was giving that behavior was from 2 days ago). but I don't seem to be able to reproduce it anymore :)
Really thanks though for willing to help me out!

please beg my pardon, but IMHO - some attention at least to gadman popup and efm toolbar is needed...
theme is great - lightweight, fast and distinct!
Hmm totally agree on the EFM theme. I really only spent a few minutes on it. Reason being, EFM is still a long way off for usability for me at least so I simply didnt do too much on it. Next release ill have that looking the part for sure. Gadman... Its a tough one. Ill try to think of something original to do with it. I just hacked the original one to really contrast and thats about it. As for the weather module and network one, I think thats dependant on the ETK theme? Ill have a poke around and see what the deal is.
Thanks for the input :) Much appreciated.
np,
take a look at default_gadman.edc (popup section) for example in my 23Oz - it's far away from a Rocket Science - there shouldn't be any issue. gadman popup affects all modules popus (afaik as for now) - there'll be no need to customize background image (but size really matters, isn't it ?:)) for each separate module popup. also quite nice gadman popup is arranged in Victor's "darkness" theme.
good luck...

Will be in the next version as a separate border! :D

just get the E17 cvs and make rm -rf ~/.e

okay, I will remove all my configs and try again. I'll report back if it works :)
yes rm ~/.e did the trick :) thank you for your help!
after a bit more testing the problem seems to remain :(
Oh bother :( What are the steps you use to reproduce it? I may have to do some debugging of this very soon.
