Installed WM on my Xubuntu computer. Must say I am really impressed with it. It's super fast and fluid on my old Celly 500MHz, 128MB RAM box. Love the default red window boarders, and the UbuntuLooks theme goes well with it all (screenshot attached showing WM and ROX-Filer). There's loads of little extension and dockable apps for WM in the Ubuntu repositories, so i'll have to check 'em all out later. Just one problem though, while I was playing around with the configuration, I acidentally lost all of my applications in the right-click applications menu. How can I get that back?
looks quite nice, might give it a go... no idear how2 get your menu back, sorry! (but making backups of everything you edit works for me )
Ah never mind, i just deleted the GNUstep directory from my home folder and started over again Window Maker is great for an uber lite window manager, it's unbelieveably fast and functional. Some of the dockable extras are pretty cool, like the binary clock and calculator. The built-in control panel is easy to use and well laid out, but I found a better one in the ubuntu repositories called wmaker-conf. My favourite lightweight window manager is iceWM with ROX-filer, which looks brilliant after the ubuntu human theme is applied. ROX-filer doesn't get enough hype in my opinion. I would rank it higher then Thunar, that's for sure. I like it's general easy of use, and point and drag nature and the way it mounts automatically when a folder is clicked. The only window manager I've never really got on with is Fluxbox. It just seems really impractical and butt ugly. It configuration control panels are nasty and there's barely any decent extensions/addons available for it. Maybe I haven't spent enough time with it. BTW, is there a command I can enter in the terminal to find out how much memory is in use? I want to see just how much of it I am saving by using WM
BTW, has anyone tried the new Ion Window Manager? I've been reading about how uber light it's supposed to be
