Xfce4 or fluxbox with some tweaking ------Original Message------ From: meino.cra...@gmx.de To: Gentoo ReplyTo: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: [gentoo-user] [OT] In search of a "good" windowmanager Sent: Sep 12, 2009 8:40 AM
Hi, for a long time I used IceWM as my windowmanager since I dont want to mimicry other OSses (...) or want session management. One thing, which is a must-have of windowmanagers I want to use is the possibility to control the windowmanager nearly completly with the keyboard (hotkeys configurable) which does *not* imply "uncontrollable by mouse" ;) Furthermore I should not be a hana-bi or anything else eye-candy like (nothing against hana-bi as hana-bi!) -- most of the time I will use the windowmanager instead of only looking at it -- which does not imply: "black anmd white ugly ascii thingy". Since IceWM seems to be gone into hibernation phase I am looking for a replacement which should -- be widely configurable via ascii files -- be as far as possible controllable by keyboard -- be also useable with the mouse -- no eye-candy -- not ugly -- NOT tiling -- FAST! I would like to hear from others what experiences they made with what windowmanagers. Thank you very much in advance for any help! Best regards and have a nice weekend!
