Openbox

What is Openbox?

Openbox is a highly configurable, next generation window manager that provides extensive standards support. The *box visual style, known for its minimalistic appearance, is used by Openbox, but it offers a greater number of options for theme developers compared to previous *box implementations. The theme documentation details the full range of customization options available in Openbox themes Openbox allows users to run the latest applications outside of a full desktop environment. It supports the latest freedesktop.org standards and adheres to previous standards, ensuring that applications function as intended. Openbox's high level of configurability enables users to change almost every aspect of their desktop interaction and invent new ways to use and control it. The default setup, however, can be kept extremely simple, making it suitable for a wide range of users Openbox can also enhance desktop environments like GNOME or K by combining their ease and functionality with the power of Openbox. This results in a cleaner, faster desktop experience that is under the user's control
