Exactly. This guy did have a nice idea for a possible e17 module,
and hopefully it will get implemented as per his vision so that
people can then try it out.
Maybe some distro will take that as the basis of a custom
profile of their own and offer it as their notion of the default shell,
rather than the standard one(s) that ships with e17.
There are many such ideas out there, both domain specific and
quite generic, and likely many more yet to thought of.
I'm actually surprised that distributions like say Bodhi Linux
haven't offered some custom Bodhi defined profiles of their
own besides the ones shipped with e. Perhaps defining such
profiles is unknown or obscure or ......?
But to have a truly 'popular' shell-customization mechanism,
a bit more needs to be refined so as to be more geared towards
skinners/themers, and just all those who like to customize their
own environments.
Then people would be able to do more than just show a screenshot
of their custom environment, and instead be able to actually share it.
Skinners could make very interesting ones that can amaze people, and
even distributions could take advantage of this to popularize their brand.
