I'm looking to change the wm to something more modern. I'm in favor of xfce
Looking to see what the community has interst in. Now I know a lot of people have a problem with xfce because of memory usuage but I will be working on optimizing it as much as possible. But throw out suggestions Late |

I just tried the new openbox 3.4.4 ipk and obconf 2.0.2.
What an improvement over openbox 3.3 !!! For me the most visible and usefull changes are: - true fullscreen windows(going over the panel), - true maximization even for aterm(we no longer have a little margin at the edge of the screen). - It's a little faster than the previous version. - New Alt + tab dialog now shows all open windows even accross all desktops - Transparent windows - Resizing grips have been added to all edges of windows - MoveFromEdge actions(The new MoveFromEdge actions let you move a window that is overlapping another off to its side) It is easily themable using obconf 2.0.2(though quite slow to load) and has many more config options than obconf 1.6 I would combine this with Fbpanel 4.12(with integrated makefbmenu that generates automatically the menu scanning .desktop files). It has been tested in pdaxiiv2. It has taskbar, tooltips, menu, can be transparent, accepts mb-applets, appears on all desktops, uses less memory than matchbox-panel. Downside: - Keybindings configured through text files(though for me it's a plus) - I miss ArrangeWindow action from fluxbox or icewm(?)(handy to cut/copy/paste between two Rox windows) In fact it is what r198 is already but with everything upgraded. I find xfce not responsive enough. |
