Enlightenment is your Window Manager. The Window Manager controls the 
appearance of the borders of your windows, their behavior and
all user interaction with positioning, killing, resizing, moving, iconifying,
shading etc. your windows, virtual desktops, multiple desktops, menus attached
to windows and some root window menus and can also control the background
of your desktop(s).
<p align=50%>
It is a large and complex program and is by no means perfect, but it is being
worked on and is as stable as possible. It has many advanced features as well
as possibly missing some features. This version (0.15.5) is by no means the
end of development and improvements, fixes and new exciting features are
being worked on all the time. Please go and visit the _Web(web) site often, 
as new versions, fixes, patches and updates will be released.
<p align=50%>
It is hoped you enjoy using this software and that it is of benefit to you.
It might not be for everyone, but if it has made your day any better than it
was it has done more than enough already.

A big thanks to several companies that helped support Enlightenment.
<p>
2rad Networks (www.2rad.net) for providing servers and bandwidth to run the
Enlightenment web site.
<p>
Red Hat Software (www.redhat.com) for allowing developers resources and time
to work on Enlightenment.
<p>
VA Research (www.varesearch.com) for providing hardware.
<p>
Xi Graphics (www.xig.com) for providing Xservers.
<p>
Not only should these people be thanked, but the whole E community - those on
the E mailing list, on #E on IRC on EFnet and all E users who have provided
feedback and debugging information, bug-fixes, patches and support. A big
thanks goes out to all of you who make a project like this possible.

You may want to visit this site often as it changes
regularly with fixes and development releases -- also visiting the 
daily-snapshots section
on the FTP site is a good idea (see the snapshots section on the website for 
more information).

<p>
There is an Official Enlightenment IRC channel where you can go and "hang out"
if you want - talk to other E users, developers, get some help, drool 
together, or whatever. #E will kill me for this but get onto any EFnet irc
server (irc.efnet.org) then join #E. An example:
<p>
BitchX your_nick irc.efnet.org<br>
<br>
or<br>
<br>
irc your_nick irc.efnet.org<br>
<br>
or use your favorite graphical IRC client.
<p>
Please remember that it can get busy with 100's of people talking at once and
not everyone is actually listening all the time or are in the middle of a 
conversation - be polite and patient, and have a sense of humor and you'll
have fun.

ENLIGHTENMENT THEMES
<p>
A "theme" is a file containing graphics and instructions that allow 
Enlightenment to change the look and feel of its windows, buttons, icons --
heck, just about anything it can control.
<p>
To install a theme as a user just drop the etheme file in 
~/.enlightenment/themes. On restart Enlightenment will pick the file up and
display it in its themes menu.
<p>
You may notice many old theme files you pick up from web sites etc. don't 
work -- the 
reason is that Enlightenment is now VERY particular about themes.
It performs a very strict sanity check on themes and if they do not meet the
requirements of Enlightenment 0.15, it will not use them and instead default 
back
to the DEFAULT theme. If it can determine beforehand, it will not display the
themes in the themes menu.

<font face=aircut3/12 color=#000000>
<p>
BACKGROUND IMAGES
<p>
Enlightenment can easily change the image displayed on the background of 
your desktop.
To have Enlightenment generate the Desktop:Background image
selection menu, simply create a ~/.enlightenment/backgrounds
directory.  The next time it restarts, Enlightenment will automatically 
scan the entire tree
of that directory (or if it's a symlink, the directory it points to),
index all files, and create a menu of thumbnails. 
<p>
Please note that this will mean Enlightenment sets your background.  Any
other tools being used to set the background for Desktop 0 will conflict.
