Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, Enlightenment is an open-source desktop environment, used by default on Bodhi Linux. It uses its own window manager, based on the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries, comes with nice and useful widgets and includes a lot of customization tools.
The latest version available is Enlightenment (E19) 0.19.1, which has been recently released, coming with the below fixes, among others:
- don’t add nocomp damages for input-only windows
- check protocol visibility for nocomp breaks, not comp object visibility
- manually break out of nocomp
- end nocomp on nocomp end…always
- force render queue on unmaximize if client was fullscreen
- add borderless theme for deskmirror clients to support various animations
- comp render queue on every client resize instead of on unmaximize
- force comp render queue more aggressively to detect changes in nocomp
- client hooks should not continue to be called if the client has been deleted
- thaw evas on winlist activation with no clients available
- modules/teamwork: Use eina_file_mkstemp() to avoid problems with umask
- fix: Add more desktops to be tiled by default in the tiling config.
