Hackedbox
(The bastard son of Blackbox)
Table of Contents
What is Hackedbox?
Hackedbox is a stripped down version of Blackbox - The X11 Window Manager (http://blackboxwm.sourceforge.net/). The toolbar and Slit have been removed. The goal of Hackedbox is to be a small "feature-set" window manager, with no bloat. There are no plans to add any functionality, only bugfixes and speed enhancements whenever possible.
Package submissions are welcome. Please submit them to hackedbox@scrudgeware.org.

Compile and Install
Nothing tricky:
$ # use ./configure --help for compile options $ ./configure $ make $ make install
Then edit ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession to make "hackedbox" your window manager. Or whatever way you use to switch, gnome users can use the control panel.
