Ok - back to what I was saying before, you can get some rather "Mac-ish" themes for Englightenment - that really DO make it look like either a Mac or make it look like OS/X - during the few times I venture outside of XFCE4, I use Enlightenment w/ a Mac OS/X theme - mostly for speed and the likes - but do bear in mind that you're going to have to dig down into the internals of the theme in order to change the dock bindings (the controls of the dock that launch particular programs - and etc etc etc) - but either which, you'll dig it. http://themes.freshmeat.net - is where you'll find an entire section aimed at Enlightenment - you'll be able to browse through the myriad themes there and find the Mac-ish ones mate. http://themes.freshmeat.net/search/?q=macos&trove_cat_id=60§ion=trove_cat&Go.x=12&Go.y=8 ...to be more precise... stephen kuhn - proprietor ============================== illawarra computer services a kuhn media australia company http://kma.0catch.com mobile: 0410.728.389 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Mandrake Linux release 9.1 (Bamboo) for i586 ------------------------------------------------------------------ * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * We expressly refuse to utilise Microsoft DRM encoded documents ------------------------------------------------------------------ Certified virus-free since we don't use Microsoft products For a holy stint, a moth of the cloth gave up his woolens for lint.
