I've seen Enlightenment running between 18% and 30% most of the time lately, with SHR. And I just discovered I am able to drop it to 3%-5% and bring it back through a single change: I've been tweaking some Oxygen icons and using them under SHR - 256x256 png versions. (Why? Well, I like my icons big, but I hate them pixellated) Anyway, changing from the 256x256 Oxygen icons to the 86x86 SHR icons dropped me from 30% to 5%, restoring the big Oxy's brought me right back to 30%. j -- Joel Newkirk http://jthinks.com (blog) http://newkirk.us/om (FR stuff) _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
