E17 Available From CVS

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the decorating-the-ecosystem dept.

Lisandro writes "As stated by Rasterman on his site, Enlightenment 0.17's window manager is now available on CVS, which means you can build e17 completely from it, as it is, and give it a try. Of course, it's still work in progress, and lacking in several areas, but it is usable, and looks as gorgeous as ever. Also, in related news, the XFCE team, one of the best 'light' desktop environments for *NIX, has released the first release candidate for XFCE 4.2, with a lot of long due improvements." About e17, Rasterman's note says "It's limited in its support for ICCCM, no NETWM support and it has no iconification, virtual desktops, shading, keybindings or button bindings, but it does WORK (just). it's also fast and beautiful."

    No, Quartz is not "just" an OpenGL rendered WM. It's much more important than a window manager will ever be. Quartz Extreme is what draws any component on the screen in OS X and is based on Display PDF. It's more comparable to a windowing system and a toolkit than to a WM.
