Bit of a problem with Enlightment 17 - freezing! So now playing with LXQt! :D

Hmmm, I'm not really feeling very enlightened with the Enlightenment, I think Cinnamon was more enlightening, at at least it tastes better in my coffee. :P

Yes, I too want to know the answer to that.

"Latest (animated!) theme I have installed."

Its the Blue one with the gear in the center, within a deep void of black all around. As you know, I am running on XFCE desktop, and I would love to know how to install an animated background like that too. I'm excited HEHE.

First off you will need to install E-17 and all associated packages in synaptic. And you will have to launch Enlightment Environment via the cog after restarting after install so it appears in the 'cog list'.

Here is the file for that animated PCLOS backdrop someone created (not me I hasten to add): Oops - forgot how big that file is! I'll give the link later - end of lumch break but it is called:

E20-Scifi-theme - look for Enlightenment themes on pling.com. :D Link: https://www.pling.com/p/1164930/

The pale blue wireframe revolves anti-clockwise then sporadic lightning appears from middle left and right. :D

That looks top-notch, Swarfendor.
I have no desire to use the Enlightenment desktop. But, that does not mean a theme cannot be adapted elsewhere. ;)

AGREED!

I have 0 interest in installing Enlightenment. I like my Zorin and my XFCE. Plus, I got so much other stuff to do, last thing I need is another huge computer project to do.
