How do I install a theme in Enlightenment?
You can install the themes (coming in.edj format) using the theme configuration dialog or by moving them to ~/.e/e/themes. Note: Enlightenment does not provide a stable theme API, and there have been numerous theme API changes over the years, even after E17 was released. Themes that have not been updated regularly are unlikely to work.
What was the original purpose of the Enlightenment project?
Enlightenment started out way back in 1996 as a project to build a Window Manager for X11. It has grown much more since then.

We still push out releases.
