Do it...

Topic comes to mind because I just setup Enlightenment on my Netbook the way I like it.  It took a while to get everything right but I like it now.  I just need to find a good lightweight login manager.

This entire window manager/desktop evironment weights in at an incredible 30MB!!

The top icons with the clock and battery are in an always on top shelf.  This puts them on the titlebar of most applications in a place which usually isn't used for anything else.

The bottom shelf with all the stuff in it is on auto-hide so I don't see it most of the time.  This allows me the most screen space on my little 12 inch netbook.  The big black ball is the wireless applet.  I have swapped the network-manager default for a lighter weight connman which is designed for embedded linux devices as a light weight network manager.

Interestingly, Enlightenment itself is designed for that purpose, hence its light weight and runs nicely on the netbook.  The underlying core distroy is Linux Mint Debian edition so I still have the power of a very powerful debian edition with a now lightweight window manager.

I still have Gnome installed in case I need to revert for anything.  Another interesting point is Enlightenment in its 30MB also comes with compositing and you can define almost any keyboard shortcut.  It also comes with the everything launcher which launches everything   I have configured so I can just press windows key (super) and space and I can start typing the name of any application and launch it.  It is kind of like Gnome-Do but it does not scan your hard drive for files and uses a static list of applications and files that you can add/remove to yourself and if you add a package through synaptic, it will automatically add it to the list for you.

Shameless bump.

Where you'd get the background?  Looks nice.

4chan is a decent place for wallpapers, if you know where to look.
