-In all seriousness Enlightenment is fairly lean. Considering how much you get in return. It isn't a minimalist WM or desktop, but it is a massively long cry from the full desktop beasts that are its peers. Enlightenment uses EFL. EFL was designed to provide the core of Enlightenment, and then some. But it was targeted at scaling down to things like Mobile phones and embedded devices. This has meant that there was a large focus on being lean, and getting a lot of "return on investment". This of course has paid off for Enlightenment itself.

EFL was designed to provide the core of Enlightenment, and then some. But it was targeted at scaling down to things like mobile phones and embedded devices. This has meant that there was a large focus on being lean, and getting a lot of "return on investment" from the very core that sits under E17. This of course has paid off for Enlightenment itself rather nicely.

-An E17 install on the exact same system as Unity on Ubuntu, simply replacing unity can save you 200M of RAM. Not to mention be snappier and more responsive. You will never know until you try, so why not at least give it a go? You run fewer processes since E17 now handles being the panel, filemanager, window manager and compositor (and more) all at once. It amortizes the cost of all these common components into a single process.

-Enlightenment and EFL provide over-the-top power when it comes to re-skinning or theme changes. You can change not just colors and background images, but entire animations, multiple layers of imagery scaled, aligned and laid out to please. It's like Photoshop or The GIMP, but on steroids riding a train of camels. If anything it may be an Achilles heel given how much power is exposed, but hey, that's what we have. If you are an artist, designer or skinner, you could hardly do much worse than E17. Wallpapers don't just have to be images. They can be complete interactive animations. You can provide multiple resolutions of your imagery all in-line in the same file and have the "best one chosen automatically" based on size. You can have it animate base on input events, or time. And not just the wallpaper. Anything in E17 can do this. Fade layers in and out, change their sizes, image content and more. Make your art come to life.

-And for the tweaker heads amongst you... there is an option for every occasion. We don't go quietly into the night and remove options when no one is looking. We sneak in when you least expect it and plant a whole forest of new option seeds, watching them spring to life. We nail new options to walls on a regular basis. Options are good. Options are awesome. We have lots of them. Spend some quality time getting to know your new garden of options in E17. It may just finally give you the control you have been pining for.

-We have put a lot of effort into UI scalability, but have taken a new tack on it. We don't just scale with DPI. We realize that UI scaling is not a function of DPI, but a function of pixels within the visible viewable angle of your eye AND the acuity of your eyesight. These things we just can't know, as if your UI is on a 20dpi TV on the other side of the living room, or no a 300dpi+ smartphone right next to your face is unknown to us. We also don't know how good your eyesight is, so... we ask you which size looks good to you. Choose the one you like best. You can later on fine-tune this if you want and ask E17 to scale with DPI if that's what you prefer etc.

-Most modern OS's and desktops use "click to focus" by default (or it is the only option they have at all without modification with extra patches or software). This is where, in order to give the keyboard focus to a window, you normally click on it. This will normally also raise the window to the top of the stack. It also tends to come with the policy that all new windows get the focus by default. The very "old school" focus policy in X11 was pointer focus. This is still the default in E17... because we like it that way. <b>BUT</b> we give you a choice. Pointer focus is where the focus of a window tracks the mouse position on screen. As the mouse moves across other windows, they may gain the focus. You are asked for a simple one here and can later configure focus and window handling with a host of swizzle knobs as you see fit. Many long-time X11 users and developers find this preferable.

-E17 also has a compositor. This allows for things like dropshadows on windows, fade in/out effects, smooth vsynced tear-free rendering and more. But unlike many others, we also work without OpenGL. We work quite well without it. A lot of effort has been put into E17 and EFL to make this possible. It comes with some caveats, such as no vsynced rendering when using the software compositor, and higher CPU load. If you have a decent GPU with solid drivers, it is recommended you at least give the OpenGL compositing a try. It can be smoother and nicer. But never fear. If you like playing games, it can be turned off whenever you need to. Even without a GPU, you may not even notice the difference between OpenGL compositing and software compositing, unless you look closely. And yes - compositing works on embedded devices too with OpenGL-ES 2.0 and EGL. It's all part of EFL.
