These two tools should be available in your friendly package feed for your Freerunner as 'edje-tools' IIRC, and possibly for your desktop linux. 2 - edje-editor. I've installed e17 from CVS on Ubuntu using easy-e17.sh, (http://omicron.homeip.net/projects/#easy_e17.sh) did so under my vmware development environment. Edje-editor comes with the works in that case, I don't know how available (or recent) it is in prepackaged binary form, however. It's important to keep in mind that the editor (and indeed E17 itself) is not finished at this time. It works, quite nicely in some regards, but has some flaws and some distinctly missing features. (like it can't remove a no-longer-used background image from the .edj file, that currently requires manual intervention) If you're interested in using the editor, check out http://wiki.enlightenment.org/index.php/Edje_Editor and the blog post I've been working on the past few days at http://jthinks.com/retheming-with-edje for an introduction to things. (my blog post is documenting my recent efforts retheming the dialer within SHR, though as I point out in the article the process applies equally to anything utilizing Edje, such as the launcher and top shelf) Also check the 'EFL Documentation' thread running the past few days. (EFL=Enlightenment Foundation Libraries, and includes Edje) up to you which is easiest ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
