I know Aliens and Bovinity have no problems running under release 0.13. Themes are either in a tarball or a gzipped tarball. You do NOT need to untar OR unzip the themes, but you can if you want to make loading faster. Put these theme files in either the Enlightenment homedirectory under themes or under you own home directory under .enlightenment or something like that, again in the themes directory. I prefer Enlightenment's home directory on the system cause if you have multiple accounts on the system everybody can read them. In your .xinitrc or .xsession you launch enlightement. The way to specify a theme is 'enlightenment -theme theTheme'. I'm completely sure, but I think that -theme is the right option. 'theTheme' will be the complete name of file without any path. ex. Download Bovinity; Put Bovinity in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/enlightnment/themes/ edit .xinitrc -> 'enlightenment -theme Bovinity' -billy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
