A true E17 fanboi to the end, Jeff. Such pre...HAHA! A true E17 fanboi to the end, Jeff. Such pretense in yoru tone.<br /><br />I recall flippin' X crashing several times, especially with a Qt program. There was something I pressed in Midori that did this everytime, but I can't remember as this quite a few months ago. Anyway, I shan't put myself through the same crap just to report a bug, I'm not one to use broken software...<br /><br />The problem with the font was that there were several configurations for it, and you've got to find them separately if I recall correctly... for instance some of them were under Theme I think, but others were program-specific? Really confusing, I think it's a bit too customisable for its own good. And lastly, the theme customisation (borders, etc) is absolutely awful. The list on the left has confusing names straight out of a text file. Openbox and Kwin do this a whole lot better. But I don't really mind about this anyway. It's the bugs that eventually drove me away.<br /><br />Aside from these complaints, there are some excellent things about E17 (lol, it sounds like some drug) such as how the mouse is immediately drawn to prompts which I thought was *really* cool and its nice effects--and naturally, being so light on resources while being *that* good looking. They EFL people should really focus on making it a full-blown DE rather than just a window manager, miss my desktop icons (major complaint)! It has its own libraries after all and pulling in dependencies tends to suck.<br /><br />I assume you're an EFL developer, right? You can make the difference! But first fix the appearance of Qt apps... I assume it's distro-specific and if you could integrate them more I could probably move back to Bodhi. I did enjoy it but it was no Xubuntu-customised Xfce or KDE (generally speaking). :)Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649494254681116379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-28318197780506684762011-12-28T18:26:16.767-06:002011-12-28T18:26:16.767-06:00@Ioannis A You can easily adjust the font used acr...@Ioannis A You can easily adjust the font used across the entire E system with the scaling settings.<br /><br />I also love how to post it was "too buggy" but don't cite examples or let us know what the issue is so we can fix it ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954467314386661328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-10074586205898949742011-12-28T09:02:30.621-06:002011-12-28T09:02:30.621-06:00Great work Jeff, I haven't been to the site in...Great work Jeff, I haven't been to the site in a while and didn't even see a new release was out until today!

I don't want to squint all the time and I don't even wear glasses!<br /><br />Does this contain a new version of E17? Last time I tried it in Bodhi 1.2.0 it was just far too buggy for my tastes. It's good though but it's good a long way to go to being my #1 choice and I don't really care for configuration. That's why I like Bodhi--it comes with a bunch of nice themes!<br /><br />But has the font size been increased? I can't stand how small everything is. Also, is there a way to get desktop icons? I don't really fancy using the dock and when I try to customise it I get seriously confused (making the dock transparent to get desktop icons? lol?).Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649494254681116379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-76365071744630241002011-12-27T14:19:22.611-06:002011-12-27T14:19:22.611-06:00Brilliant, Jeff.

My name is Francisco and I'm a Linux user since 2008. Since then i've tried a lot of distros, most of them Ubuntu based, but also Fedora, OpenSuse, and many others... I remember the first time I met Bodhi, It was love at first sight!!! But in that moment, I had some hardware issues on my netbook, so I left it and return to ubuntu... But with the 1.2 release everything works so fine and my machine works faster and solid than ever... Now I,ve just upgrade to 1.3... Thanks to you and to all the Bodhi team for the hard work. Iĺl keep spreading the voice about this great OS, I have in mind start writing a Blog to spread Bodhi into more spanish users.

Apt-get updating never adds new "default" art to a system, thus why I link to the themes.<br /><br />A Debian base for the desktop is not planned. Really we just don't stand to gain anything from it. All that bloat you talk about Ubuntu having is not installed in Bodhi by default (we strip it out), sure you could reinstall it - but then you could also install that same bloat on top of Debian.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954467314386661328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-33019298398143808842011-12-23T10:23:03.778-06:002011-12-23T10:23:03.778-06:00Hi Jeff,

Sunshine theme is not installable, when i clicked Download it said file not found and when i right clicked and did save as, it downloaded but while installing said it's not in right deb archive format.<br /><br />Had another question though, is there a debian base E17 in the works? I know the current 10.04 is LTS and quite stable but raw debian base always is lighter. Ubuntu for all the good work they're doing to bring Linux to the masses tend to add things which make the OS feel bloated and resource intensive. <br /><br />If i or for that matter any user were to do a base/minimum Debian install, is there a Bodhi how-to/guide that can help in adding onto the base Debian to get the remaining Bodhi system?<br /><br />If it's too much of an ask :-) then it's fine, i'll try to hunt and build if i get the time and resource.<br /><br />But overall good release.<br /><br />Merry Christmas.Muralihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10384228879440930406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-67755385524672655762011-12-23T06:27:00.308-06:002011-12-23T06:27:00.308-06:00I'm new to Bodhi and have absolutely loved the...I'm new to Bodhi and have absolutely loved the past few weeks with 1.2.1.
