BlackBox is an X11 WindowManager.

Features:

  • It is written in C++
  • It shares no common code with any other window manager (even though the graphics implementation is similar to that of WindowMaker).
  • Small code size
  • Fast
  • Simple menus
  • Multiple workspaces
  • Decorated windows
  • Built-in graphics code to render solids, gradients, and bevels on the fly.

And a whole heap else, I'm sure.

If you find KDE or GNOME take too much out of your system, try running BlackBox for a bit.

Also see FluxBox and OpenBox.
