well, openbox can have bitmaps for all buttons that control the toolbar and windows. it uses xft to give you smooth anti-aliased fonts. and like in waimea you can mousescroll through the desktops. and shade the windows with the mousewheel, drag windows from one desktop to another. also the window to window and window to edge snapping or resistance stuff is very good compared to blackbox. overall its awesome. its what blackbox should have been. and you are right about fluxbox, its mostly just those tabs. which i have no use for. and if you want to make your own styles for openbox with a great ease then you use stylebox which is linked in the openbox wiki. http://icculus.org/openbox/wiki http://icculus.org/openbox -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
