The graphics tricks that e is able to pull of on some very skimpy hardware are simply amazing. I am not surprised somebody thought these libraries would be great for embedded devices too.
- qhoxie 17y agoThis really is true and under-appreciated. Carsten's (raster, rasterman.com) early work on EFL was fantastic, and even though the delays of E17 became a bit of a joke in some circles, the progress was always impressive.
- sandGorgon 17y agoDoes anybody know if the eye-candy+speed advantage of E17 is still relevant, after the advent of the Clutter toolkit ? Given that the toolkit natively uses OpenGL and people can hack compositing managers together pretty quickly for it(http://wingolog.org/archives/2008/07/26/so-you-want-to-build-a-compositor http://wingolog.org/archives/2008/07/26/so-you-want-to-build...), is E-17, still the "sci fi window manager" ?
