I like the new theme, especially in my preferred browser -
Seriously - looks great VastOne. I like the hashed entry fields, as well.

WM Designs and Discussions / Re: "Light-weight" WMs - How low does yours go?

It seems to me that a previous livearp release had Window Maker along with the other WMs included. Linuxbbq's "Oyster" (maybe?) also has - or had - Window Maker + a baziilion or so other WMs. I wonder why the livarp developer(s) dropped Window Maker?

WM Designs and Discussions / "Light-weight" WMs - How low does yours go?
January 19, 2013, 10:56:36 PM
In Linux communities like this, sooner or later someone will start a "my WM is lighter than your WM" thread. Might as well be me this time 
My primary WM is and has been Window Maker for a good long while now. I know I'm in a distinct minority, but there are a number of reasons for my preference, and the "lightness" of Window Maker is just one. I've been working on a recent Debian Wheezy netinstall on an older laptop, and I happened to check resource use with htop a few minutes ago. Here's a screenshot of the output:
That's right, friends - 88Mb! I've used i3 and some other very light WMs, and I don't recall seeing anything much less, even with all the bells and whistles Window Maker provides compared with the tilers out there. Granted, this is with only a few applications / services running (two terminal instances, htop, a weather app, an acpi monitor and a few of the usual background things that are largely unavoidable) but really, if you are looking for a light WM - why not Window Maker?
Anyway, I've started the "how low can you go" thread, so I guess the VSIDO forum is on its way to maturity, right?

Seems that we've got a number of non-XFCE window managers in use, so I don't feel too out-of-place posting this. Here's Window Maker using falldown's wood-debian-glass-cyan wallpaper:
gtk theme is ShikiJetBlack http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Shiki-JetBlack?content=121433
Window Maker theme is from Urukrama http://box-look.org/content/show.php/ShikiBlack?content=144353
Thanks, falldown, for the outstanding artwork.
The Window Maker installation is straight Debian Wheezy, built up from a standard netinstall image by me.
