EDE 2

In EDE 2 (currently in beta) eFLTK has been replaced with FLTK and EDE's own library, edelib.[3] edelib contains functionality for creating a window, saving program configuration, communicating via D-Bus, loading icon themes, etc.[4] EDE2 will be following the FreeDesktop.org guidelines.[5]

Availability

EDE is not as common in Linux distributions as other desktop environments such as KDE, GNOME, and Xfce. It is available as an optional package in MINIX 3.[6]However, EDE is available in the Mandriva Linux medias since its version 2009.0.
