This Christmas rocked…one of the best ever. I got to give out more gifts than I have ever given before, and I myself got blessed with many things, including a shiny new car…I have to say this year was phenomenal! I have been blessed so much this year I can’t even begin to count.

I still have a few days of vacation to enjoy this week, so I’m taking some time to work on Entrance and E17. Patched up some bugs with some help from atmos yesterday. Hopefully I might be able to resolve this config impasse we’re having right now, but if I don’t manage to gather the patience I need to do it, then I’ll just hack away at ecore and E17 instead. I’ll try and see if I can liaise with raster to implement virtual desktop support.

For those wondering what’s new on the Entrance front:

- New default theme based on E17’s default Gold theme, by Raster
- Extensive namespace and theme cleanups, by Atmos
- Some bugfixes

The old default is still available and has been renamed to “Darkrock”, for those who still prefer it. I’m sure you’ll like the new one better anyways.

E17 now has support for window shading and alt-drag window movement. Still lots of stuff to be fleshed out, and it’s going to be a while before this reaches alpha status. You can check it out from CVS if you want to get a feel of it, but don’t ask for help building it, ’cause you won’t get any. Rephorm has created winter themes for both Entrance and E17. The E17 theme is quite neat, especially with the focus-unfocus animations. And it’s only 69K.
