If Enlightenment is given no switches, it uses the theme 'DEFAULT', which should be in /usr/local/lib/enlightenment/themes. As installed, this is a gzipped tarball, which should be extracted automatically, but the tar command line doesn't work with FreeBSD tar. (Tar assumes you want to use the tape drive if it isn't given a file name.) This can be fixed by using GNU tar, but it is probably better to keep the themes unarchived - it's faster to start up and it doesn't leave loads of stuff in /tmp. -- Michael Searle - csubl@csv.warwick.ac.uk
