Alternate Themes

Besides the default from E17 and Elementary others themes are also available.

In the E17 WM the theme can be changed using its own dialog for that: just go to Settings -> Theme and choose the desired theme.

For Elementary, you can use the elementary_config program or export the ELM_THEME environment variable.

Efenniht

Efenniht was devised to be clean and neutral. Its name (which means equinox) comes from the chromatic duality that was decided at the very beginning, with a dark theme (black and orange) and a bright one (white and blue) to be developed so that more people feel comfortable using it. Efenniht uses few animations, discrete contrasts between shades of gray and fine lines (colored) that outline the selected elements.

The icons (shown next to the list) were removed due to their small size that didn't allow the user to relate them with the words to which they referred. The margins of the words in respect to the limits of the boxes/windows were increased, as well as the space between the words of lists. The two horizontal lines limit the objects and the inner line serves as a guide for a possible marking occurring during a mouse over event. The images used were made mostly by the designer (congrats Marina) and have good quality.
