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 use glazier, a WM I wrote myself. But given your description, it won’t fit you at all ^^ It’s very bare bones, and requires that you script everything not mouse driven using wmutils.

      Ah, like bspwm then.

      If I was younger, I’d jump on the idea to be able to configure everything to my liking and making a “perfect” setup. However, I want to reach a compromise between a lean system and something which has sane defaults OOTB. Your setup seems fantastic but it’s going to take me a week or so, which is not what I want to do. Thank you for mentioning your project though.
