What WM/DE do you currently use?

[diablo]

fluxbox on all the things. I've tried others, but I always turn back to fluxbox.

[LeFrettchen]

OpenBSD with FVWM, KDE 3, XFCE or just the console (out of X).

Hello all!

My first post here to say Enlightement 17. But I change the WM often.

In OpenBSD/FreeBSD I use OpenBox/Tint2/Wbar as described in this FreeBSD forum post.
Lightweight FreeBSD desktop howto
Wbar was my first attempt to make an OpenBSD port with significant help from Antoine Jacoutot.

Wbar is written in C++ originally for use with Fluxbox but I chose Openbox on the basis of the FreeBSD howto
I also feel that the Tint2 panel has more flexibility than the fluxbox panel. The svn version of Tint2 can be make to look and function like the Xfce4 panel complete with menu and application launchers.

My Tint2 clock will launch the calcurse calendar and my default terminal is rxvt-unicode. OpenBox/Tint2/Wbar/rxvt-unicode are all setup to use Redhat's Liberation font package.

I am looking at using the systray of tint2 to install an audio volume applet. There are several out there (gvolwheel, volumeicon, pnmixer) gvolwheel has been ported to FreeBSD using the oss backend. None of the volume applets support sndio directly.

I do not want to drift off thread on the challenges of volume control applet in OpenBSD so I'll end the post with a screenshot - the mouse is placed over the Wbar icon for the xombrero browser. Commonly used apps can also be launched from Openbox keybindings and less frequently used apps from the Openbox right-click menu.

Be aware that wbar is in the snapshots packages.

Seems that Antoine Jacoutot made the wbar package.

I run current.

Antoine was nice enough submit the port. I have alot more to learn before assuming the responsibility of maintaining a port.

Antoine also made the following entry in the changelog:

Revision 1.1.1.1 (vendor branch): download - view: text, markup, annotated - select for diffs

Import wbar-2.3.4.

Wbar is desktop application launcher that appears similiar to the dock
on an OS/X desktop. A wbar-config gui is included although the manual
configuration is easy with entries for icon path, command and tooltip.
Wbar commonly used with lightweight, stacking window managers such as
fluxbox and openbox.

Well, I changed again to Scr... err... Spectrwm.

I told you that I liked to change WMs, did not I?

WMFS. (written in C and configured in a simple text file = win). I did quite a heck amount of a research to decide on this one, because it's pretty neat as a dynamic tiling wm, and most important really easy to configure. Plus contains a built in status bar. Really easy and neat to use! Before I had tried dwm but didn't want to rebuild it all the time... and 'awesome', but i personally prefer text configurations over lua coding.. Also, I'm about to try 'subtle' on my new openbsd installation. It's built on C and configured with Ruby. (just try to see how it goes...). Lastly, openbox+tint2+wbar(optional) = always win, but i generally prefer dynamic tiling.

I alternate between Flux box and XFce. At the moment I'm running XFce 4.10 on OpenBSD 5.3.
