Openbox user question?

#1

Have any of you openbox types tried using this? It looks “interesting”.

I never used tiling in Openbox, never saw the point until I got stuck on i3.

#3

Never heard of this before, not much of a tiling guy.

Some people might be interested.

I really like tiling (bspwm is my favorite). I like everything about OB except the lack of a tiling option. I may try to see if zentile works with OB. zentile works splendidly with xfce. :wink:

Tried it a while back (or maybe something similar). Interesting, but IMO it gets to a point where the user should switch to a tiling window manager.

Have you ever set up bspwm to be the window manager for Xfce desktop session? Actually a pretty good setup, doesn’t hog resources.

Sorry to detail the thread a bit

#7

No problem. I actually use the xfce infrastructure (xfce4 tools minus xfwm, desktop, panel) to support my bspwm setup. I’m a fan of thunar, the power tools, etc.
