Hi,

I've seen one or couple of those WM's where you can make a windows semi-transparent, which lookz pretty nice.......WHere can i find one? What's its name?

thnx

And if possible give me a link or two on how to change WM under Linux. BUt if not, thats ok i can do a search myself and come back if still no success

try "liquid" for KDE... u can search it within this forum if I remember correctly. note, however that I think you'll need a quite recent PC with enough RAM to have it work decently

How about blackbox? I've checked out some of the screenshots at themes.org and think it's pretty good. But i could'nt download BlackBox at http://blackbox.alug.org/, the link doesn't work. WHere can i find it?

My other question is that: There are many Wm's and there are many themes for EACH different WM's. For me to be able to use a particular theme, i have to have the WM thats made for it right? Right? thats my qs.

thnx

1) http://sourceforge.net/projects/blackboxwm

2) well of course you need the right manager. Try crashing your pick up truck and putting a rolls royce wing on it...
