thanks for your answers so far.
Unfortunatly my iconbar is not working yet. I don't know what is wrong. Everything compilet just fine. It is as if the e17 doesn't read the folder $HOME/.e/desktop/0/.e_layout/ that I've created. The folder contains four files:
desktop.bits.db iconbar.bits.db iconbar.db tidepools.bg.db
I also tried to change the background image with no luck. Is it the wrong folder i'm using?
Greetings Christian

I agree; I've been hooked on Linux and E ever since I tried them...Questions. How do I shuffle between the different desktops in e17?Alt-F1, Alt-F2, etc. The menu options for desktop switching won't work, since it was apparently a ferrite wrapper (and ferrite scripting was removed a while back). I'm not sure if there's a replacement functionality.How do I configure e17? basics. How do I create the iconbar?
The iconbar is created by a script in a dir like the following: /path/to/e/share/enlightenment/data/scripts. as well as the left-click root menu. Edit to your liking. Then run the script and point the output to your ~/.e/desktop/... The details are on the sites below. There's config help on these tasks, including extra backgrounds and theme parts, in a number of places. However, e17 is still alpha (ie, not officially released) so there is no support other than this list, and several sites: Andy's e site, with e17 forum: http://e1x.codewordt.co.uk/ The Cuddletech site e17 page: http://www.cuddletech.com/e17/index.html Ralph's e17 page: http://www.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de/~nofx/linux/enlightenment.html and probably a few more. There's even a few e17 threads in the main Gentoo forum (I'm running a couple different versions of e17 on Gentoo now). You pretty much have to assimilate the above config stuff, some of which has been altered by changes in the code, and experiment yourself. Just back up your default config stuff first, and then hack away...
