RE: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] WM's (was: Afterstep pre2.0)

["Nathan Mahon" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Well... Afterstep was the original lightweight WM... since it was around for years before gnome or kde...
and though it has *all* of the features available that you'll find in a "heavyweight", none of them slow the beast down.
Furthermore, it's modular and fully configurable... so if you want nothing on your screen, that's what you get. :)

Personally, I take big advantage of vertical toolbars and lots of transparency effects.  And I like my 10 dockapps in my wharf.

it's 1.5mb, but feel free to check out a screenshot at http://www.vaevictus.net/screen.png

I like HackedBox. It's about as simplistic as you can get. No frills, no
bloat. Unless you add them on purpose you have no icons, panels, or other
crap that uses up screen space.
