If there's anything like eye candy not really required I can get rid of let me
know. BTW, I've been thinking on removing switcher, since fast-switcher is
less eye candy and does the thing right, but not sure if that would be limiting
switching among windows, but that's one additional candidate I've been
considering...
Although I was pretty resistant to use labwc given how I've been using wayfire
for quite some time, and how getting to the right configs takes its
considerable amount of time, I decided to try it, and although not working out
of the box without some configs, particularly the output one, I was really
surprised with it. It works as I was looking wayfire to behave, just more
stable (with wayfire, on a particular PC when turning off the monitor, the
windows on every workspace were rearranged into workspace 1, and I always had
to go move everything back to where it was before turning the monitor off, this
does not happen with labwc).
All in all, it seems labwc is just the lighter wayfire I was looking for, and
with the openbox dracula theme tweaked a bit, of course with proper
keybindings, I can't tell the difference. Labwc doesn't offer a way to pick
for CSD, since it's by definition SSD, but I have GTK configured to use CSD any
ways.
The funny thing, I never liked openbox on X, since I preferred fuxbox (without
its panel or status bar, neither its menu) and not being into editing XML
config files (I still don't like that), but it seems like the only stacking
alternative close enough to fluxbox using wlroots. So labwc it is, :)
