OpenBox

OpenBox is a highly configurable, next generation window manager with extensive standards support. It is used as default in Puppy526 Puppy5.2x Lucid, but JWM can be used instead via WMSwitcher. See LupufySlacko to add OpenBox to Puppy 5.3x Slacko.


Also see OpenboxExtra packaged by vicmz. It includes Tint (panel) and themes.


OpenBox can have a nice translucent dock and its keyboard and mouse bindings can be configured. Mouse bindings can be important as some applications shortcut key conflict with the standard Linux ones, for example Inkscape.

Configure
Use "Openbox config" and "Fbpanel configuration"
