Yep and i'm glad to see elfe integrated in a so short time in this distribution ! but you're right, it's not so great on landscape mode on big screen. As discussed with Jeff in a private mail, it might be good to add more columns to the desktops pages for this kind of layouts. Another feature that would be good to integrated in such profile could be the comp scale module. To be able to switch between opened windows with fingers. In SHR there is a module window which is shown when you slide down the top bar. it add the possibility to change opened window by clicking next/prev buttons. I think adding thumbnails of opened window in such module could be a good thing. > >> I hope some day we can see computers that come preinstalled with an E >> desktop someday. For now though...
