Please post your QSI ( MX Menu | Quick System Info | Copy for Forum | paste here )
I dont run Enlightenment, so someone here should have an answer for you.. and @AVLinux probably knows this answer to this too.

OK, first I need to know what contents you mean... If you mean a "conky" which is a widget showing the time, date and system stats, AV Linux 23 discontinued use of a conky because I was trying to save resources and simplify the system to focus on Audio and Video with the new Enlightenment Desktop Environment. Now secondly if you meant how to put folders and launcher Icons on to the Desktop Enlightenment also handles that a bit differently and there is a simply application in Menu-->Applications-->Accessories-->"EFM Action - Copy Launcher to Desktop" which will show the launchers copied from /usr/share/applications/ on the Desktop.

I just tested the Conky from AVL 21 on Enlightenment and it seems to work, since it is not included in AV Linux 23 by default it will take a few steps to make it work, if you (or anyone else) are interested in getting the Conky from AVL 21 into AVL 23 let me know and I'll put together some instructions...
