Description
The Enlightened Desktop aims to be a desktop driven mostly by the Enlightenment Desktop Shell and applications based on the Enlightenment Foundation Librararies (in this case Etk - The Enlightenment ToolKit). In this screenshot, we see the following applications:

1- Etk Audio Player:
This application was started as a sample teaching application for one of the chapters in my book, Etk Explained. The chapter shows the reader how to build an application based on Etk, Enhance (the Glade to Etk parser) and Emotion (multimedia library using Evas). So far, the player can load M3U files, play songs, search the list, and use ID3 tags. More features are in the works.

2- Exhibit:
Exhibit is an image viewer that uses Etk as its toolkit. Exhibit supports image previews for image types supported by Evas and allows for directory changing using a point and click interface or a text input box with tab autocompletion support. Common operations include rotation / flipping, sharpen / blur, saving, resizing, zooming in and out, drag and drop, image sorting, and a tabbed-ui with favorites support.

2- Extrackt:
Extrackt is essentially an audio CD ripper and encoder. It allows you to choose your ripper and encoder based on templates which give Extrackt the ability to use multiple built in and user defined ones. Extrackt is logically split into a frontend (gui) and a backend (ripping / encoding / cddb etc.) and allows for frontends to be written using any toolkit like Etk, Ewl, Gtk, or even pure Evas / Edje (not to mention ncurses or simlpe shell ones).

3- Eim - The Enlightenment Instant Messenger:
Eim aims to be a fully fledged generic instant messenger application. Supported protocols right now are IRC and work is being on on the MSN protocol. Eim supports multiple accounts, multiple chats, and uses the Etk library.

4- Entropy:
Entropy is a file manager on steriods. It uses EVFS (the Enlightenment Virtual FileSystem) and supports filesystems over ssh, ftp, http (soon), thumbnails (in a generic fashion), locations, mime-type associations, and several other things. Entropy and EVFS are very powerful and fast while remaining extremely lean on both memory and cpu usage.

5- Other:
The desktop is running several modules / gadgets, some of which are a weather module, pager, application launcher, temperature, CPU speed control, battery indicator, and clock.
