Sawfish. } Here's what I really like about E: } } - minimal screen real estate lost. I don't mind selecting an } application by clicking the mouse first to get a menu. Minimal or no } icon box. Themeable, and I use a pretty minimal theme (microGUI). There's at least one smaller theme (Microtene), too, and even an E-like theme (absolute-e). } - shade/unshade windows, leaving only the window decoration bar showing. Yup. } - ability to switch virctual consoles by scrolling the mouse wheel. It never occurred to me to set this up. I tried it, though, and sawfish handles it like a champ. } - settings done using GUI rather than editing a config file. Yup. A nice config GUI, too. } - Looks good. A matter of taste, but I like how it looks. } So I'm looking for something fairly unintrusive, yet with nice features. } Eye candy is good. The screenshots of openbox look good, but I don't } know if it has the features I want. I tend to be a functionalist, and I'm very into customization (of functionality/interface, not appearance). I find that sawfish suits my needs admirably. } Comments? :-) --Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
