Perhaps you are thinking of E with a default theme like Hand of God.

I'm running GNOME right now and enlightenment is 17th on the list (sorted
by memory usage) behind the panel (6MB), xmms (4.2MB), gnome-terminal
(3.2MB), gmc (3MB), mini_commander (2.1MB), xfs, gnome pager and some
others (including the X server and netscape, of course).

E is using up 1.6MB on my system right now.

Can we pick on something else please?
