I like fvwm - http://fvwm.org/ http://fvwm.org/ - I can change the size of windows on all sides, and the width of the borders is easily configurable.
(Everything else is as well, but those are the things I particularly like over other window managers I have seen.)
I would like to try running Xmonad on a second monitor, and use that monitor for xterms primarily - I don't want my browser window-size to change with how many windows I have open - but I haven't had time/monitors to experiment.
- beej71 16y agoAnother vote for fvwm. I've customized it pretty heavily over the years: I have a single config file that detects which host its running on and modifies fvwm's behavior accordingly. This way I can have the same configuration work well on the desktop and the netbook. It works well on the netbook, too, as its very resource-friendly. I have it set up with a 3x3 virtual desktop space and no edge resistance. The "Windows" key pops up the virtual desktop manager. Also, I have it configured so that when I hit the "Menu" key or CTRL-Windows I get the root menu, so it's reasonably keyboard friendly. (e.g. CTRL-Windows,T gets me a terminal; CTRL-Windows,N,W gives a browser.) Not that I use those, really, since I have F1 on the root window bound to "launch terminal", and F2 to "launch browser". FVMW doesn't work as well as others out-of-the-box, but you can pretty much make it do anything if you tweak the config enough. But that's work, so you gotta wannit. I really wish it was a compositing window manager, but it's not, and it doesn't seem likely to be.
