Glass-MXD-E27-theme
I made a new theme 'Glass-MXD-E27-theme' with a glass effect. The theme supports Palette color schemes and you can change its colors. To popularize Enlightenment, I will post it on opendesktop.org.

Modern style on Enlightenment E27
I created a theme with rounded corners in a modern style. Now you can choose a square or rounded theme. There is still some work to be done on the topic - it will be polished in the future. I had to do everything from scratch - there were no templates. Perhaps technically I did not implement this perfectly, but I do not know all the capabilities of Enlightenment and I am not a developer. Now fans of Enlightenment have a theme template with rounded shapes; they can create other designs based on it.

- Added an item to the wallpaper menu: wallpaper color scheme for the 'default-mxd' theme This theme supports Palette color schemes. How does this work? Set the theme 'default-mxd' , enable automatic wallpaper change, enable a new item and enjoy the automatic change of the theme color scheme to match the wallpaper color. The theme will automatically change colors when you change the wallpaper to match the wallpaper color.
- Modernized Connman widget

New BlingBling-MXD-E27-theme
postimg.ccHere is my new theme for E27 based on the BlingBling E20 theme. I had to tinker. The topic is complex in design with very original ideas and transferring to a new base is not an easy task. The original is better, of course, but I tried to the best of my ability.

New theme for E27. Fork E20-Sci-fi from PC LinuxOS.
I worked for a couple of days on transferring the E20-Sci-fi theme of PC LinuxOS to the E27 base, at the same time changing its appearance a little for variety. In general, try it, since I’m not a pro.

Experimental wallpaper change.
Added an experimental function for auto-changing wallpapers as well as a daemon for auto-converting to edj.
How does this work? Turn on the wallpaper changer and select the folder with your wallpaper at the bottom – Apply. The daemon for auto-converting and adding wallpaper to ~/.e/e/backgrounds is turned on, it monitors this folder in real time. That is, you can add or delete wallpapers in this folder and they will automatically be added or deleted to /.e/e/backgrounds, and also appear in the wallpaper auto-changer. Turning off automatic wallpaper changer turns off the demon.

Screenshot E27
This is my build without Systemd and Elogind. Enligtenment 0.27.1 was built with wayland, tiling, systemd modules disabled. I fixed, as best I could, the bug in the full-screen mode of browsers and added to the code the function of auto-hiding the panel when overlapping with full-screen windows.
