After posting in an X Window System (X) newsgroup Enlightenment (E) window manager (WM) was again suggested to me and I know it's much faster than most/all desktop environments (DE) but I still have basic setup problems. For some reason the Linux kernel doesn't count my display ports in order (three display-port (DP) in one card), though UNIX/*BSD kernels likely count them in a proper order) and while other WMs & DEs let me move around taskbars to different monitors, apparently E doesn't... I have 1600x1200 (4:3), 4K & (drawing pad/LCD) 1080p (both 16:10) and while 16:10 is main for classic PC, obviously 4K is newer PC main but oddly E chose shortest (1080p) monitor as primary and couldn't move taskbar to 4K without just quitting and physically moving plugs.
When I tried to move my 1600x1200 to above middle of my 4K most 1600x1200 screen was cut off (doesn't happen in KDE/TDE nor XFCE nor even these days CDE & NsCDE). The taskbar apparently has no clipboard nor night colour control (such as redshift or better-customizable) without which (and perhaps some other things, like maybe notifications and would be nice to have 'Caffeine' program to not turn off display when images/videos are in use... screenshot would also great also for bug-reporting, and is clock fully- customizable with UNIX-type date command and improvements on it?) I simply still can't switch to E, despite how much faster (I have recent 32-thread CPU anyway). Another thing I'm waiting for is in E one could previously (maybe no longer) setup (Ns)CDE-/Win3-style (they came from one IBM project) automatic program groups for all installed GUI programs, or if not automatic then like XFCE can make/update all with a script (I'd require automatic/script generation/updates... doing/updating several/many hundreds manually is a non-started). E Settings misses things such as desktop background gradient or otherwise loading my own fullscreen (for each monitor) gradient images: rejected them, but if only tiny images are accepted then tiled, that's unusable: fullscreen gradients/images or can't switch to E. Thanks for the suggestion; if there are solutions to enough of these I'll retry... I really hope I can eventually. _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
