What is enlightenment? It is a Window Manager that works with the
|
||
|
|
X-Window System otherwise known as X11.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What is a Windowmanager? Strictly speaking, a Window Manager manages
|
||
|
|
windows - it is the Window Manager's task to arrange program windows on
|
||
|
|
screen in some defined fashion, and allow the user to move, resize,
|
||
|
|
iconify, and otherwise manipulate these client windows, without the
|
||
|
|
client programs needing to do this themselves.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Enlightenment goes beyond this, not just Managing Windows, but providing
|
||
|
|
a useful, good looking graphical shell from which to work. It is open
|
||
|
|
in design, and instead of dictating a policy it allows the user to
|
||
|
|
define their own policy right down to the minute and infinitesimal
|
||
|
|
details; from its functionality right on through to its looks.
