Hello,

as a long-term e16 user who migrated to fvwm some eight months ago, I'm
toying with the idea of installing e19.

Since I currently run debian 8 this would be a time consuming task, so
I'd like to ask some questions before I spend some hours in vein ;)

How stable is the API / theming API ?
I really love to create my own themes, but I'm not motivated to fix
them over every minor revision. Same goes for EFL, I'm perfectly happy
to hack together some tools I need, but I'm not ready to adapt them to
a moving target all the time.

How long does a release of enlightenment "live" ?
Mostly part of above questions, but having to compile the whole efl /
enlightenment stack every other month would be a bit off-putting.

Is there a documentation on the theming specs? I figured it out on e16
over the years from looking at other themes without any references or
documentation at all, and won't go that road again.

How flexible is the window behavior? Can I theme them as flexible as I
can under e16 ?
My current fvwm features some interactions like
-left-click on the window barder/titlebar sends window down/to the back
-scrolling left/right changes desktop
Can I do that in enlightenment too?

How is the file manager?
And if I dont like it, can I replace the bindings f.e. on the desktop
icons of mounted drives to open the locations in another file manager?


That's it.
Thanks for reading through this and thanks again in advance for your
help,
Daniel
