Personally I use Blackbox.  It is small, simple, fast, acts and looks a lot 
like Wmaker but is entirely written in C++.  The menu is highly customizable, 
and the lack of graphical icons prevents desktop clutter.  So if you value 
simplicity and speed, choose Blackbox.  If you want fancy stuff like 
wallpapers, stick with Wmaker.

Hi all, 

I'm planning to depart from my KDE desktop environment and try to make 
my own custom one.  As I understand, one needs to start with a certain 
window manager, and then build his/her desktop domain from there. 
Please correct me if I'm wrong. 

Anyway, my question now is, what are your recommendations as window 
managers?  What do you personally use? 

Thanks!
