Hi all. I'm having an issue switching e17 themes in YDL 6.1 on an Apple Powerbook G4.
When I try to switch to any theme I've downloaded off of http://exchange.enlightenment.org/ it crashes enlightenment and restarts in the default theme, or simply reverts back to the default theme. I have not been able to switch to any theme I've downloaded from the site. I'm following what I believe is the correct process for installing the theme: 1. Download the theme into ~/.e/e/themes/ 2. Open up the themes configuration. 3. Click the Personal button. 4. Click the theme. 5. Click the OK button. As soon as I click OK button e17 either crashes with the "Enlightenment Error - This is very bad... (f1) Recover..." error message, and lets me restart with the previous theme I used, or, it does not give me an error message and simply reverts back to that previous theme. Here is a list of the names of some of the themes I've tried: 1. 230z_016_999_043_1.edj 2. A-illume-Blue.edj 3. detour-0.7.4_e17.edj 4. grunge.edj 5. pce17os_new_h.edj 6. simply-white-0.9.5.edj I read through a variety of posts and the best I can come up with is that e17 is very picky about versions and that perhaps the .edj files that are provided on the exchange site are intended only for the very latest version of e17. According to the About dialog, I'm running 0.16.999.040. It seems the latest snapshot on the enlightenment site is 0.16.999.060. I read through a few sets of instructions for how to compile e17 and install from source but it seems rather laborious, and wondered if there is some easier way some of you more experienced users might be aware of that you could point me to. As far as I can tell, all the updates from the default repositories have been installed at this point. I'm not doing anything tricky I can think of. Its a relatively new installation, + Apple wireless working. Anyone else have similar issues switching themes on the version of e17 that comes with YDL6.1? If so, have you figured out a way around it or have some advice on how to get it working. Is there an easy way to stay on the most recent version of e17 under YDL6.1? Thanks, Corey _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fixstars.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:us.fixstars.com'
