I need something that is easy to configure and that is customizable, fast and with a clean look. I like the Icewm, but I dont know any tool to configure the menus and the look and feel of it. Does anybode have an opinion about it? note. I dont like kde :) > I second the previous messages - try Blackbox. I had been using KDE up until a week or two ago when I realized that I just didn't need about 99% of the things that KDE was offering. I tried AfterStep but hated the Dock, then I tried FVWM, now I'm with Blackbox. My main complaint with FVWM is the long, and fairly involved, config file(s). Blackbox was just what I wanted right out of the "box", no pun intented. I installed a couple little helper utils to top it off - bbkeys (key bindings) and bbpager (desktop pager). So far I'm thrilled with Blackbox. My only small complaint is that now and then bbkeys seems to hiccup and I lose keyboard control in Opera for a period, but this is infrequent and it can be resolved (for whatever reason) by opening-->closing bbconf (a gui config util). I haven't tried Fluxbox. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
