There is also a FWWM[1] "skin" that doesn't require long time abandoned C code - NsCDE[2]. It still requires X server (just like CDE itself) which becomes rarity these days. They need to port it to Wayland eventually. [1] https://github.com/fvwmorg/fvwm3 [2] https://github.com/NsCDE/NsCDE

one of us, one of us ! there are literally hundreds out there ! i for one have migrated to fvwm3 (https://github.com/fvwmorg/fvwm3) almost everywhere i can. i don't think i am ever switching to anything else. reason: nothing better exists :o) not for the lack of trying mind you ! heck, even at work, where i log into a aws machine, i have it running with x-forwarding over an ssh session (using x2go) from within my mac. it looks something like this: https://ibb.co/DHYbM45J unfortunately, i just realized, that on github, my config is not up to date, will update in a couple of days. i would be remiss to not mention my huge thanks (fwiw) to mr. thomas-adam the current maintainer + project-lead of fvwm3. thank you ! ps-01: for folks getting into it, this: https://www.zensites.net/fvwm/guide/index.html is not-too-shabby a launch point. ps-02: d

Fun fact: Openbox, Blackbox and Fluxbox all stopped active development around 2015. What happened in that year? Another fun fact: FVWM is still more or less actively developed: https://github.com/fvwmorg/fvwm3

If you have a thing for obscure window managers, are looking for massive configurability and have time to sink, check out Fvwm2[1].
