FW: [e-users] Hello and maybe a question...

Yes, thanks, that's helpful info... When I get some time then I'll see if I can't resize the icons in the evidence theme, investigate E16.8 and then maybe proceed onto E17 even. Assuming that I do resize the icons, is it worth passing them onto someone else for a default_small theme, or has that already been done?

The dependency problems you ran into are (most likely) caused because the EFL needs to be built in a certain order, that order is: imlib2 edb eet evas ecore epeg epsilon embryo edje esmart emotion etox ewl imlib2_loaders engrave Only question relating to Evidence that i have is can i reduce the size of the icons? They're beautiful and i really like it, but they're a bit large for my liking. The icon size in Evidence is actually the size of the icon files found in the (relevant) themes directory. Once you locate the themes icons it's as simple as resizing them. And finally, is there much more to getting E17 to work seeing as all of the above RPMs were from E17 iirc? Can the two coexist? E16 17 that is? If i have to remove E16 then i'd be reluctant for now, as i say, this is a work laptop and i can't spare even half a day if it goes completely pear shaped. At least i'd have to be fairly creative with a few excuses!! IIRC Kim Woelders, has made changes to E16.8 so that it may reside alongside E17.

[e-users] Getting Firefox and Thunderbird to Interoperate
All Does anyone know how to get Firefox and Thunderbird to invoke one another on links? I discovered that you can get Thunderbird to invoke the browser of your choice on a URL link in a message by creating a script called LaunchBrowser in the same directory as the Thunderbird executable. This would contain something like: #!/bin/sh /usr/local/firefox/firefox $1 and needs execute permission for everyone, of course. There ought to be an easier way to do this, plus I have not found anything comparable in Firefox. In FC3, clicking a mailto:; link in a Web page invokes Evolution. This must be a Fedora default somewhere but I can't find out how it is controlled. My experience with Mozilla lists and forums is that they are all Windwos users.

This was dissapointing t me, but i guess the years of KDE have rubbed off on me. You can run any KDE or GNOME application, including their file managers, in E16. If you're running Firefox, you probably already have the core GNOME libraries, for example, so you could just install Nautilus and go... So this afternoon i went down the Evidence route. ...But Evidence has some neat features Konqi and Nautilus don't. :) Things were a little shaky with the source compile and in the end i gave up with that as i shouve been writing code not compiling other peoples really. I don't recall off my head what the sticking point was but i decided to give the SUSE RPMs a shot just for the hell of it, i could always back it out afterall. So, I installed about 7 RPMs (ecore, edb, edje, eet, embryo, evas, evidence itself) and it seems to be working a treat. Nice one!! Did i ought to be overly concerned about the fact that they were SUSE RPMs?

I think Mandrake has RPMs for some of those libraries in contrib, but I don't think Evidence is there. Maybe easiest to keep running the SUSE RPMs if they don't whine about missing libraries. (.so's, that is. Missing packages are different; some undoubtedly just have different names in Mandrake.) And finally, is there much more to getting E17 to work seeing as all of the above RPMs were from E17 iirc? E17 is under heavy development and lacks many features. For day-to-day tasks you might be better off with E16. The only way to find out how much work it would be is trying it. :) At that point, I'd personally compile from CVS rather than use the RPMs if they are at all out of date. But I don't know if there are CVS changes Evidence hasn't kept up with. Can the two coexist? E16 17 that is? If i have to remove E16 then i'd be reluctant for now, as i say, this is a work laptop and i can't spare even half a day if it goes completely pear shaped. At least i'd have to be fairly creative with a few excuses!! E16.7 and older cannot co-exist with E17. E16.8 (current CVS) can. --- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users. Discover which products truly live up to the hype.

[e-users] e17 keybindings don't work...
Hi Everyone! I'm having a very odd sort of problem with e17 keybindings. Even after I've configured all the keybindings using the ebindings program, none of them work at all! :( I can see the following files in ~/.e/behavior/ : behavior.db actions.db grabs.db settings.db apps_menu.db What could I be doing wrong? Any sort of inputs would be very helpful since keybindings are what stop me from using e17 as my wm.
