OBPager is a lightweight pager designed
to be used with NetWM-compliant window
managers like OpenBox.
Unlike many other pagers out there,
OBPager has very few dependencies,
requiring only Xlib and glibc++
(no Gnome or KDE necessary).
A pager for sawfish without GNOME

With Pawm you can minimize windows, that are placed on a
small auto-hide bar at the bottom, for a better access to
all apps. It also includes a small clock on the bar, that
can be easily disabled.
a window manager that emphasizes efficiency, speed, and beauty
PLWM is a set of python base classes for a window manager, a
collection of mixins that can be used to configure the behavior of the
window manager, and some example window managers that show the flexibility
of the system.
This is a window manager based on the Qt library. It supports
icons, keyboard controls, and virtual screens. It comes with two
applets: a biff-like mail indicator and a clock, both designed to
be swallowed by its toolbar.
Caution! Killing this window manager will kill some of your X
clients (applications).

Ratpoison is a simple Window Manager with no fat library dependencies,
no fancy graphics, no window decorations, and no flashy wank. It is
largely modelled after GNU Screen which has done wonders in virtual
terminal market.
All interaction with the window manager is done through keystrokes.
ratpoison has a prefix map to minimize the key clobbering that cripples
EMACS and other quality pieces of software.
Peksystray is a small system tray (also called notification tray) designed
for all lightweight window managers that support docking. As more and more
applications use a small icon in the system tray to provide some additional
functionality and information, it becomes useful for everyone to have common
access to them. While "heavy" window managers (Gnome, KDE...) come with a
system tray embedded in the rest of the desktop, lighter window managers
(Window Maker, Fluxbox ...) do not have this feature. Peksystray is a very
simple and light implementation of a system tray for any window manager
supporting docking, conforming to the System Tray freedesktop.org standard.
Peksystray provides a window where icons will automatically add up depending
on the requests from the applications. Both the size of the window and the
size of the icons can be selected by the user. If the window is full, it
can automatically display another window in order to display more icons.
Peksystray has been named after PekWM.
sWM was written for small computer system with very little amount of
memory and small screen sizes. It was written to speed up working with
laptops or even PDA's. You need a minimum of about 12k of diskspace
(minimal mode). It uses even less memory than a rxvt.
treewm is a window manager that tries to implement a new concept. In
addition to the client windows the user can create desktops which can
themselves contain windows and desktops. By arranging the windows in
such a tree the user is able to manage his tasks efficiently treewm is
feature-rich, flexible and provides a powerful concept. However,
treewm's look is is rather puristic, and its feel is not always
intuitive, but with a bit of practise it should be very effective to
use.
Short feature list (some of them are quite unique among window managers):
- Allows to create desktops and to arbitrarily move windows between
desktops
- Many options (such as sticky, autoresize, always on top, or the
focus or raise policy) can be set for any desktop or window
- Can be fully customized using the configuration file
- Has a very powerful (somewhat vi-like) command mode, and can be
controlled from shell scripts via a FIFO
- Icons can be placed on desktops that can execute arbitrary commands
- Only uses very common libraries, in particular it doesn't require
GTK, Qt, or anything like that
