10/8 For those of you who have tried any combination of these which one
do you prefer?: Afterstep, WindowMaker, or Enlightment. I want to
know before I spend an hour downloading it. Oh yeah, ICEwm sucks.
Looks too much like Win95.
\_ wrt ICEwm, that was the point dude...
\_ use twm.
\_ I've tried all of them. Tons of people like afterstep/blackbox
(which look about the same to me).. I'm not sure why.
Englightenment is pretty, but slow and very very buggy (0.14 still
Enlightenment is pretty, but slow and very very buggy (0.14 still
kills my Xserver after a few minutes of use) I use fvwm2 because
some of the modules (like FvwmButtons) are nice and SloppyFocus
and SmartPlacement are very addictive. Otherwise, I'd just use
twm. All of the things that make other window managers "advanced"
(stylized borders, lots of icons, etc) just get annoying after
you've got all of your shortcut keys and whatnot set up to actually
get work done. --dbushong
\_ ctwm is basically twm with virtual desktops. I like it the most
since I only have a 15" monitor. -- reeser
\_ fvwm's virtual desktops are somewhat cooler for this, because
then you can just drag windows from one to the other by banging
them against the side of the screen --dbushong |
