Some are boring, others not as configurable as we want. Then we have Enlightenment, the window manager for the rest of us.So why not have the eye-candy and configurability of Enlightenment, with the clean and beautiful design of Ubuntu Linux?Elbuntu is a project aiming towards that goal.Elbuntu is based on the Ubuntu distro, but provides Enlightenment DR17. The objective of the Elbuntu community project is to provide the maximum eye candy for the end-user using the Enlightenment DR17 window manager and the related libraries.Elbuntu doesn't contain Gnome, but only graphic libs. All the Enlightenment based software are included in the distro. Elbuntu is fast , like the E17 window manager. Elbuntu uses the live/install CD method.

There are has number of effects that edge different Be shown when you switch from the virtual desktops. The menus, the borders and all other usual shares of has normal window to manage are animated have well have some of the widgets (the sliders, for example). Remember that those effects are provided by the topic, so every topic makes E to different look, with different effects, look and feel and animations. In Desktop ShellHave we already mentioned, E17 provides has file manager have well. Of the time of writing, it is not completed and is in active development (have E17 have has whole itself), goal after it is finished it will Be has very Nice, configurable and eye candy.
