Hi there, I’m looking at floating window mangers as an in-between of DEs and escaping configuration hell (somewhat) of tiling Window Managers.

Specifically, I was looking at IceWM and OpenBox, but would love recommendations and discussion on what you like and why.

Cheers!

      I’m pretty sure KDE’s window manager, kwin, can do all of those things through kwin scripts and window rules, except the pager doesn’t show the details of windows on other desktops, just the outline.

      This was a fun one! Now, I use Gnome, after I discontinued my own fork of catwm called ocelot (but this was a tiling wm based on dwm, anyway).

      This sounds like my dream windows manager but it’s dead. Happiest and saddest news.
