Fluxbox
A lightweight X11 stacking window manager for floating desktops, with multiple workspaces, tabbed window groups, menus and themeable styles. Its Blackbox-compatible theme format makes it a familiar option for users who want a compact desktop with decoration and menus configured through text files. Fluxbox began from the Blackbox 0.61.1 codebase and developed its own lightweight, feature-rich X11 desktop.
