Hi there, I’m looking at floating window mangers as an in-between of DEs and escaping configuration hell (somewhat) of tiling Window Managers.
Specifically, I was looking at IceWM and OpenBox, but would love recommendations and discussion on what you like and why.
Cheers!
XMonad has most of the features you’ve listed though: window swallowing, fake fullscreen (other solutions exist: tabbed layout, fullscreen…), xresources (other solutions exist, just not familiar of them tbh), scratchpad, tags, taffybar and many more features in xmonad-contrib!
