Hi,
|
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
for a long time I used IceWM as my windowmanager since I dont
|
| 13 |
want to mimicry other OSses (...) or want session management.
|
| 14 |
One thing, which is a must-have of windowmanagers I want to use
|
| 15 |
is the possibility to control the windowmanager nearly completly
|
| 16 |
with the keyboard (hotkeys configurable) which does *not*
|
| 17 |
imply "uncontrollable by mouse" ;)
|
| 18 |
Furthermore I should not be a hana-bi or anything else eye-candy
|
| 19 |
like (nothing against hana-bi as hana-bi!) -- most of the time
|
| 20 |
I will use the windowmanager instead of only looking at it -- which
|
| 21 |
does not imply: "black anmd white ugly ascii thingy".
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Since IceWM seems to be gone into hibernation phase I am looking for
|
| 24 |
a replacement which should
|
| 25 |
-- be widely configurable via ascii files
|
| 26 |
-- be as far as possible controllable by keyboard
|
| 27 |
-- be also useable with the mouse
|
| 28 |
-- no eye-candy
|
| 29 |
-- not ugly
|
| 30 |
-- NOT tiling
|
| 31 |
-- FAST!
|
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I would like to hear from others what experiences they made with
|
| 34 |
what windowmanagers.
|
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Thank you very much in advance for any help!
|
| 37 |
Best regards and have a nice weekend!
