I guess I understand. In E - the only think that a theme changes is the window borders and their behavior. If I want different background images and icon sets I have to set those individually. I think I was expecting themes to operate similar to they way they do in WindowMaker. I've read that E is the most themeable window manager, just takes some work to set it up.
Thanks,
Kevin

is no benefit to doing so (aside from a minor saving of memory). If you
want your apps to match your E theme, you still have to configure the
GTK+ Themes via the Theme Selector.The icons are part of the GNOME Midnight Commander File manager, and are
separate from E. The kewl screenshots come about because the user goes
through the trouble of backing-up and replacing the default GNOME icons
with new ones.To choose a background, download one and put it in
~/.enlightenment/backgrounds, then restart E.Jim Cape
