I'm still running 7.2. with oroborus-wm
Working on using the tablaunch to start some sub-menu system.
9menu or myGtkMenu because i really dislike panels and task bars.
might see if dzen2 works with Oroborus?

Very original and interesting set up you have there harii. How do you find oroborus?
I never really tried it. How does it compare with antiX/fluxbox?

I really enjoy using Oroborus--lite,clean-looking and simple.
Xfwm4 is said have started with an oroborus-base--later i'll see if the themes would work?
its small--reads .9 with htop on my box
icewm=1.9
fluxbox=2.1
but if you add an menu or add keylaunch you really don't gain anything.
I'm trying to have a wm that is still lite after adding eye-candy and stay the same size as fluxbox.
I think i'll keep using it because of how simple it is to use and how clean-looking it is.

you can find the .oroborusrc file in the /usr/share/doc/oroborus
If you dowload the theme switcher (otc) it will make one as well.

ADDED: Xfwm4 themes do work--
So, Oroborus have tons of themes of xfce and not the bloat!!!

I should look into seeing how hard it is to replace openbox with oroborus in lxde?
But i like slim over gdm.

Hello. In previous vesions of lxde, you could edit the file /etc/LXSM-LXDE-Default. Just replace openbox with the wm of your choice.
