ModdIt
I think once you figure out how to make “your desktop” out of it you will be happy with Icewm,
it is extremely configurable, fast, light, very stable, pretty much fully developed.
Any bugs which may crop up get fixed pretty quickly.
Can highly recommend it.
Loads of info and help with customising and setup here in forum threads. Lot with BobC who has
really helped me to get an efficient and good looking master setup for a number of users.
After the next stable version has been out a while you might find more interest in giving plasma
a try, right now bug hunting and figuring out how to tame runit is at least for most of us the name
of the game. Sysv version not to be forgotten.
