Edje
Is a configuration-file format which origins of Enlightenment 17. It is used by Openmoko and Illume for configuring a lot of the look of Openmoko and its applications. It allows you, for example, to change the background image but is much more powerful then that.
Please note, however, that for changing application icons it is not necessary to compile theme files.
Edje uses *.edj Files as binary-configuration files and *.edc as the source of such an *.edj file.
For compiling an *.edc file to an *.edj file you need: edje_cc For decompiling an *.edj file to an *.edc file you need: edje_decc (you might want to do this to learn about how such a file has to look like)
Edje themes are stored at usr/share/enlightenment/data/themes. Which theme gets loaded by default, is defined in /etc/enlightenment/default_profile.
Installation
Installation on Ubuntu
You can install edje_cc and edje_decc for Ubuntu by adding this source to your /etc/apt/sources.lst:
deb http://e17.dunnewind.net/ubuntu hardy e17
or
deb http://e17.dunnewind.net/ubuntu gutsy e17
or
deb http://e17.dunnewind.net/ubuntu feisty e17
After that you can install the needed tools with:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libedje-bin
Installation on Debian
The packages for Ubuntu look like they are compatible with debian. Verified is: feisty<->lenny
Unfortunately, something seems to be broken in recompiling the edjefiles (reports syntax errors in .edj file)
Installation on Freerunner
To compile/decompile Edje files directly at your freerunner, you first need to install several packages. You need at least edje-utils which provides the compiler and decompiler tools. Depending on the contents of the theme, you need additional modules which are provided by libevas-* packages. For example, to be able to load and save JPG files, you need both the libevas-loader-jpeg and libevas-saver-jpg packages.
To successfully compile .edj files, you also need a C++ compiler and the embryo_cc scripting language compiler installed.
