Yep, cwm is maintained by the OpenBSD devs and is part of base, so you don't have to download a package for it. If you want, though, i3 is only a quick dl away.

I used to have a kind of complicated cwm setup, but I got tired of that and just use XFCE now. It runs great.
- anthk 8y agoDitto, but with JWM instead of XFCE. Minimalist, a rational set of functionalities, click-to-focus-and-raise, plus a CDE-like colorscheme borrowed from AIX. As for the file manager, I use noice, but I woudn't mind this ported to OpenBSD: http://www.musikwissenschaft.uni-mainz.de/~ag/xplore/ http://www.musikwissenschaft.uni-mainz.de/~ag/xplore/
- peatmoss 8y agoI can’t decide whether the old motif widgets are ugly as sin or not. But for whatever reason, I find the screenshot of that file manager to be salve for my soul. Probably just nostalgia. I must say though that I’m just as glad Motif has mostly faded into history. It was... a challenging widget set to work with. Now, I wish something like GNUStep had caught on. Maybe an independent BSD implementation.
- anthk 8y agoOn Motif, Irix' theme was really great: http://www.inventinginteractive.com/2010/12/07/desktop-uios-design-history/ http://www.inventinginteractive.com/2010/12/07/desktop-uios-... I woudln't mind a GTK theme adaptation. A Motif one exists in Gnome Look, and it's more usable than you think.
