  1. Make your window managers work better for you on Window Managers For Small Screens? · · Score: 1

    It is fairly easy to make your environment work better for you without having to do anything more than just click a few options, and you don't really have to change a window manager or anything. start the windowmaker preferences utility and: 1. reduce the icon size to the smallest possible(if memory serves me right it's 24x24) 2. set some virtual desktops ( at least four) Virtual desktops are the greatest thing in window mangers nowadays. This way it's like having four different screenss or even more, plus you can keep yourself more organized( desktop 1: work, 2: irc, 3: slashdot etc) also click the first two options for worskpace navigation. 3: use some keyboard shortcuts to switch easier between your desktops(virtual desktops are great, have i said that?) Finally if you want to you can give a try to any of the *box, they are great and have a big following( i use fluxbox in all my boxes :-)), just always have a look at the configuration preferences
