In the field of computing, Enlightenment, also known simply as E, is a window manager for the X Window System, used alone or in conjunction with desktop environment like GNOME and KDE. It is far more complex and comprehensive than most window managers, with functionality that is common in desktop environments. It is graphically featureful and has a powerful facility for theming, yet is fairly fast and efficient. Enlightenment is frequently deployed on low-end systems with resource constraints instead of a full desktop environment.
Since 2005, the latest stable release of the software has been version 0.16.7.2. The next major version, called E17, is currently in development and is designed to be a full-fledged desktop environment based on the new Enlightenment Foundation Libraries (EFL). E17 is a complete rewrite from E16, targetted toward a range of platforms from embedded systems to workstations.
