Hi
I don't know whether this is the right place to give feedback for E17, I hope
so :-).
E17:
* It would be great if one could set ordinary pictures (bmp,jpg,png) as
wallpapers without compiling them to edje. For means of simplicity.
* If you press Alt+Tab and your system goes under heavy load at the moment
the mouse cursor is "trapped" in the "Select a window"-dialog. It always jumps
back to it if you move it.
* I don't understand why "folding" is not possible for maximized windows.
* Support for several color themes in one theme file would be cool.
* I'm pretty sure that this is because of technical circumstances, but the
loading/unloading vs. activating/deactivating of modules is a bit strange
IMHO. Wouldn't it be cool if every module is registered at installation time,
and shown in the popup menues and activating it there will load it (and make
it consume memory)?
Ideas for E17:
* No window-focus change when you are tipping in a window (type in password
in a shell && instant messenger pops up problem => you type the password in
the wrong window).
* Gray out non focused windows, or make their borders translucent or
"smaller"/more mimimalistic.
* only allow resize if you active a window first (to avoid resizing of wrong
windows)
* configuration of "Masterkey" for hiding/showing all enlightenment widgets
(engage, docker, clock etc.)
* in a more mature state E17 could be registered at openusability.org to have
usability experts looking at it. (though I'm sure there are already some
doing this).
* "reservation" of screen edges for applications. for example: applications
like engage "register" actions ("bringing engage in the foreground") at
enlightenment. the user has a small configurations dialog which shows the
screen and all registered actions. he/she can than choose which action to take
on which edge/parts of edje of the screen. (OSX has something like this)
* all configurationdetails (e17 and plugins) in one dialog (with tabs for
example) instead of the popup submenus would be cool.
* it would especially be great if one could customize the left/right-click
popup-menus. so when I have a docker running I can remove the "favourite
applications" and the "lost windows" items from the popup menu.
Emotion:
* Would be cool if emotion would use gstreamer instead of xine-lib
Engage:
* If you activate "systemtray" and don't have any items in there, there's a
small graphical bug (ugly right edje).
* If there is more than one instance of the program at the left or right edje
of engage you can't choose all of "small flying icons": If one of the small
icons is even further left than the left "big icon" in engage you can't choose
it (engage "shrinks back").
* sometimes engage doensn't "expand". You have to move your cursor somewhere
else then and move it back to engagne.
* activation of startupnotification for an eap doesn't change anything
* it would be cool if engage would come into foreground if you place mouse
cursor on it, so other windows can lay over it and only a few pixels of engage
at the bottom of the screen could be used to call it in the foreground.
Entice:
* a bit confusing, cause you don't know where the UI elements are if they are
hidden
Entangle:
* scrollwheel support would be cool :-)
This are my ideas for making the greatest windowmanager/desktopshell I know
even greater (IMHO :-) ).
greetings and many thanks for the great work!
