With all due respect but, maybe you should consider changing the title to:
Homogenizing antiX19 User Interface (proof of VERY BAD concept)
1. If one’s installing Fluxbox / IceWM / JWM, one has a good reason to do so
(There’s no good reason to install them all at once but, that’s allowed too)
If you make them all look same — why not keep only one and remove the rest?
(OpenBox will do almost the same, if you add all what you plan to add here.)
2. You are designing a memory hog that’s quiet the opposite of “mean & lean”.
3. I could now start explaining why and what to do and what not and why but, i’ll just tell it in 5 screenshots.
1st screenshot — That’s pretty but, not very usable
2nd screenshot — That’s OK look but, good usable (that said, if it would work as designed)
3rd screenshot — That’s good looking AND has excelent usabillity (understand it as a reference for ‘how to do it right’)
4th screenshot — That’s the Nr. 3 again but, this time only Start Menu (doesn’t fit on single screenshot)
5th screenshot — That’s the Nr. 4 but this time, with alphabetic menu instead of list
You managed to produce quiet the oposite: it doesn’t look good and it’s unusable.
Tipp:
Concentrate on usabillity: No black themes, no transparency under 90 ~ 95 %, high text contrast and good fonts legibillity.
