The Blackbox Window Manager

Up

GNOME/Sawfish takes a long time to load on my systems, and failed to properly work with a 4096x3072 virtual desktop (don't ask!)... but I'm going to stick with it ... until I have time to try something else, anyway.
Blackbox is that fast, light window manager you have been looking for without all those annoying library dependancies. If you have a C++ compiler and the X Window System you can compile and use it.

Blackbox is known to run on the following OSs:
  • BSD (all flavours)
  • Linux (all dists)
  • IBM's OS/2
  • Cygwin
  • Apple's Mac OS X
  • Sun Solaris
  • SGI Irix
  • HP HPUX
