pagers should not rely on events on the edje object as it might get
lots of event replicas if there is a chain of swallows/groups/smarts
and they repeat events.
the new theme exports an e.eventarea part that will get the events and
pager will try to use it, if not fallback to the old behavior.
I cannot test this now, please say if it does not work.

large buttons like those in syscon were very ugly with old glow since
it would scale the gradient. now the glow is just in the borders, the
middle is a plain color.

The option can currently be activated from Virtual Desktops Settings -> Advanced. A better home and preview would be better for these settings.
In more detail, this option can make a wallpaper, larger than the geometry of the zone, scroll appropriately with each desk change. Consider a nice panorama picture, which is as wide as the total desks' width. Then, at most, E will scroll the background by 1 / (number of desks) for each desk change. The direction of the scrolling is dependent on the desk change itself. Also, the user can specify a coefficient of maximum scrolling for each axis. If the coefficient is 0, the wallpaper will not move.
More advanced animations can be constructed with edje. The data item "directional_freedom" "(1|0) (1|0)" can toggle the actual wallpaper scrolling done by E for each axis. A message with the current x/y position, panning w|h, and zone w|h is sent to the background edje with each desk change animation tick. An example embryo script that handles the message, and changes a hypothetical "a1" part in the "e/desktop/background" group is shown below:
public message(Msg_Type:type, id, ...) {
if (type == MSG_INT_SET) {
new x = getarg(2);
new y = getarg(3);
// new max_x = getarg(4);
// new max_y = getarg(5);
// new w = getarg(6);
// new h = getarg(7);
custom_state(PART:"a1", "default", 0.0);
set_state_val(PART:"a1", STATE_FILL_POS, 0.0, 0.0, -x / 4, -y / 4);
set_state(PART:"a1", "custom", 0.0);
}
}

Show Desktop Names is not enabled. Currently, any changes made to the
pager module config require the pager module to be restarted (or E
restarted). This should be addressed before a 1.0 release.
