I think that this is new for 0.16.8. Is it possible to use this name with 0.16.7? I have never found out where the initial value for ECONFDIR is set. It looks like the executable has to be renamed to "e16" as well. I wonder if there are not other conflicts. It looks like a lot of the changes to 0.16.8 were made for this reason.

It should be possible to rename the e16 binary (any version) to whatever you want. If you want a non-default configuration directory use -econfdir (<16.8) or -P/--econfdir (>= 16.8).

The primary reasons why it is recommended not to rename .enlightenment to .e16 when switching to e16.8 is that cached theme/config files from older versions may cause trouble, and that an old custom menus.cfg most likely will not work without adjustments.

Almost all themes should be compatible with 16.8, also if there are cusomized theme files in the user configuration directory. The exceptions are that the theme files can no longer contain configuration settings (I think I have seen one theme using this), and they can no longer contain menu definitions, which would have to be removed or moved/merged into a custom menus.cfg (I'm only aware of two themes doing this, one being Ganymede which I have fixed up, and the other being Aqua+clones which includes a menus.cfg in menustyles.cfg).
