Undoubtedly BeSlayed! Shows the excellent configurability of Enlightenment.

AND he's using emacs!

I also like the proliferation of the anachronistic font!

It is nice to see my desktop here, but I doubt that anyone notice usability of it and has even chance to win. Because most of shelf's uses auto-hide. And for some reason users like gigantic conky configs.

Generally, I'm not mad about conky, but Beslayeds' is excellent. Should and probably will win with ease.

Think of this sentence as a deep and meaningful saying, or an extremely witty phrase.

I vote for Timmy because use most E17 feature than BeSlayed: use different wallpaper for different desktop, use Engage (with different background) and Penguins!
I like also because use 2 desktop

... but Timmy, what the hell is the music you hear?

Tanks for the feedback!

And Behemoth is a Polish Black Metal band... Not my favorites, just happened to be playing at the time...

Thanks Timmy, Tristam, LostBumpkin, aeonius for your kind comments.

I agree with Duma that my desktop probably isn't showing off E17 features as much as some of the others like Timmy's. I'm new to E17 yet, and still playing with configuration. I found Agust's 1890 theme, which actually works better with my set-up (conkys and all) than the one pictured here. And the falling penguins is cool.

@Vaidotas: is your system stats on the bottom a conky or something else?

Yes at bottom, right. I tried to have more, with less space used, because Bodhi is all about it, minimal distribution with maximum customization abilitys.
My conky is made from a scratch, not copied from others, with lots of useless information:
like Linux kernel version which is static info, who cares about it?
Top processes?? It is good to know which is it, but why do you need it always? Use gnome system monitor.
Storage device...well now "Places" gadget is DEAD, so I guess for now it is good one and REALY useful, but just for now.
Such gigantic conkies looks well good only at small wallpapers (such as yours when it is only in center) or on minimalistic wallpapers.
I agree you have done a nice work, and everything looks like in place, but still...

Here's the same basic set-up, using Agust's 1890 theme:

I get what you mean about big conkys. I'm still tweaking the conkys I'm using. I'm not sure how to get this style to fit into a smaller space though.

Actually, I like being able to see top processes on the desktop (and not having to run a system monitor).

Awesome selection of artistic and technical abilities!

It is so hard to choose.... do love 'em all..... Hmmm....... :unsure:

I'd try (and enjoy) all of them, but the one that I'd probably settle with long term is by Utherpendragonfly

Why?

It's calm and relaxing, reflecting the spirit of Bodhi, with about enough on-screen info for me.

Thanks, everybody!
