Yes, it is possible to run Enlightenment without GNOME, although there
is no benefit to doing so (aside from a minor saving of memory). If you
want your apps to match your E theme, you still have to configure the
GTK+ Themes via the Theme Selector.

The icons are part of the GNOME Midnight Commander File manager, and are
separate from E. The kewl screenshots come about because the user goes
through the trouble of backing-up and replacing the default GNOME icons
with new ones.

To choose a background, download one and put it in
~/.enlightenment/backgrounds, then restart E.
