Full Discussion: Alternative GUI For FreeBSD

GNOME and KDE are Desktop Environments. Blackbox, Fluxbox, and other *boxen are (floating) Window Managers. Ratpoison and StumpWM are (tiling) Window Managers.

I like Fluxbox, and I *really* love StumpWM. It's all a matter of preference. I suggest you look at screenshots and feature lists and try a few of them, then make up your mind.

bbpager

BBPAGER(1)							      bbpager								BBPAGER(1)

NAME

       bbpager - pager for the Blackbox window manager

SYNOPSIS

       bbpager

DESCRIPTION

       bbpager is a pager for Blackbox and all other Blackbox-compatible Window Managers.

       bbpager supports colors and gradients changing, moving windows (also to other desktop), and optional placement in the Blackbox slit.

       It's also possible to define how the desktops are displayed, by defining the number of rows or columns to use.

CONFIGURATION

       By  default  bbpager reads the Blackbox style-file as defined in ~/.blackboxrc and copies as much of the style as possible. See blackbox(1)
       for further information.

       If the resource bbpager.autoConfig is turned true, the tool will periodically check the main config files, ~/.blackboxrc for Blackbox users
       and bbpager.nobb for other WM's to see if they have changed. If so bbpager will reconfigure itself accordingly.

FILES

       The location of bbpager's configuration files is as follows:

       /etc/bbtools/bbpager.rc the global configuration file

       $HOME/.bbtools/bbpager.rc the local configuration file
