i tried searching, and have tried for the last 2 days and can't find what i'm looking for! theres a new windows manager out that comes out with the system information on the right and its fairly dark black background.. lots of different templates ect. ect.
i've tried google and have come up blank, this is my last resort!
list your favourite window managers (besides kde & gnome).
i'm running ubuntu!
Hi,
First Kde and Gnome are not windows manager ther are desktop environments... and for my "favorites" it will be fluxbox and wmaker :-)

EDIT: I found however KDE excelent... on fast machines :-)
no it's not.
A window manager *only* manage windows... it allows you to see your windows, have different desktop etc... that's it ( ex: kde, gnome, xfc4)
A desktop environment does that but also include a great deal of sofware and a control center... allowing you to configure your machine with a gui... also they provide a much better integration of your programs... but are far heavier than windows managers and then are way slower... ( ex: fluxbox, openbox, wmaker, afterstep, icewm..............)
