“Enlightenment is a window manager for the X windowing system.
It will run on most unix-based systems, and has been reported to
run on Linux 2.x (both glibc2 and libc5), Solaris, FreeBSD, HP/UX,
Irix, AIX, and Warp OS/2 (provided they are using the X windowing
system).”

“I’ll discuss an overview of most of Enlightenment’s features,
including configurability, compatability with Gnome and KDE, and
then talk a little about what’s proposed for the next major release
of Enlightenment.”

In its present state, Enlightenment is the most
configurable window manager in existence. This means that
Enlightenment can be configured both in look and feel to provide an
environment that fits your tastes.
