- All bindings to screen edges are disabled by default. <\/ul>\n
The mandatory dependencies declared are EFL, libexif, and libpam (only on Linux). Recommended dependencies for full functionality include: connman for network configuration, bluez5 for Bluetooth support, bc for a built-in calculator, pulseaudio for sound device management, acpid for handling various hardware events, packagekit for tracking system updates, udisks2 for mounting external disks, ddcutil for managing screen backlight, and gdb for tracing crashes.

<\/center> <\/p>\nLet\u2019s remember that the desktop in Enlightenment is formed by components such as a file manager, a set of widgets, an application launcher panel, and a set of graphical configurators. Enlightenment is very flexible in being customized to your liking: the graphical configurators do not restrict the user in settings and allow for adjustments to all aspects of operation, providing both high-level tools (changing themes, setting up virtual desktops, managing fonts, screen resolution, keyboard layout, localization, etc.) and options for low-level tuning (for example, you can configure caching parameters, graphics acceleration, power consumption, and window manager logic). <\/p>\n
