Okay sportsfans…
Here are images of antiX with the Openbox wm. So now I have 4 wm(s) which look pretty similar and run on the antiX19 base.

Items that have been requested and/or remain open include: :turtle:
— stickiness of the panels (top & bottom)
— launcher (I use synapse others have been requested)
— the jwm Numix-like theme needs work
— the fluxbox Numix theme needs work (there are two and neither are very good)
— would it be better to have only one panel? I like two but for an antiX release that’s a decision above my paygrade.
— wallpapers ought to antiX branded if they are to be used formally for antiX
— performance needs to be tested/ approved if this work is used officially
— a color palette should be chosen for anything official, again above my paygrade
— I did not set a Desktop icon manager (nor will I), that ‘requirement’ would need to be decided by the devs if this project were something antiX wanted done; also above my paygrade
— I did not include herbstluftwm (fall air window manager); I’m already working with a bunch of tools I’ve never used before. This would be a bridge too far for me right now.
I am pretty certain that if this is to become something that the antiX developers want done, we will need to take the project-level discussion off-line. If it’s something that another user wants help with, I am happy to share the details of my work here on the forum. Ask & you shall receive (whatever I have and know).
But given what a prrof of concept is supposed to be, I think I have proven that the following window managers (iceWM, fluxbox, Openbox, jwm) can be made to look pretty current and contain a modicum of eye-candy, even by someone with my limited skiils.
