light window manager that supports transparency?


Hi all. Just wondering what people who use Ubuntu are using for window managers. I have been using fluxbox now for a couple years and really like the minimalism in the frames (any frame's top isn't like bloated fat and wasting space meaning I can put more on my screens). I also really like not having any toolbars, and I like having a menu system instead of icons. I would like to try some other window managers, but I would like to keep them fast, like fluxbox, and I would also like to try out transparency in my frames, which to my knowledge fluxbox does not. Any suggestions?

Or let me know what you are all using.

dont forget to get the "bling" module.

That makes it possible for your entire windows to be transparent,
movie players included
