Lubuntu 13.10 pre-alpha

[Dry Lips]

Xfce 4.8, with Openbox 3.5, using a modified Laza Gtk and Openbox theme, and the Gnome-noble icons.

Sofisticated as always, Urukrama! Very nice!

nice work. I do have a question though. does it save much in the way of resources or gain speed to mix xfce and openbox? I could understand something like KDE or Gnome and openbox which use quite a bit more resources than xfce.

I don't really know whether it makes much of a difference performance wise (it probably does). I use Openbox not just because it is light-weight, but particularly but it is very customizable, much more so than Xfce's window manager.

Interesting. I'm not sure in what way it's more customizable but thanks for the info

I'm not sure you can do this in openbox but I could be mistaken...

of course, why would you want to?

I'm not talking about the visual aspect, but rather its behaviour. In Openbox I can, for example, control every aspect of my window management (and desktop) with keybindings. Openbox gives you a lot more control than xfwin (see this page).

That said, I also really like Openbox' aesthetics, and find it a lot more pleasant to theme than other window managers (it all happens in a single text file, with a very simple syntax).

ahhh. thanks for the explanation. it also explains why I wasn't aware of the difference because I hate using the keyboard.

Indeed!

Saint Jerome was one the greatest men of all times!

Gotta admit -- never considered using him as a wallpaper, but...

It's a sign_of_the_times, I suppose...
