OpenBox

Until yesterday, I was a happy user of Fluxbox. A lightweight not-too-graphically-oriented window manager for X. But yesterday, zeroK pointed me to Openbox.

Right now, I’m running Openbox. And I’m quite happy. Graphically, it is very similar to Fluxbox. However, instead of flat files with a specific syntax for configuring the system and menu, Openbox uses XML files for configuring. Works great. Much easier to configure.

So yeah, I’m quite happy with Openbox. I’ll probably keep it on my system.
