Awesomewm
PROS:
Tiling saves a lot of time if your workflow tends to involve multiple windows.
Everything is edited through one config file, so things are a lot easier to keep track of and integrate, whereas in openbox you have a couple config files for openbox alone, plus ones for whatever trays/panels/etc. that you are using.
The more I learned to not use the mouse, the faster I got things done with awesomewm. (much faster than I ever did with openbox).
tags > workspaces (you can combine/uncombine different tags at will with awesomewm, with everything on each selected tag nicely tiling for you, for example)
It's awesome.
CONS:
I suppose that initially it is harder to configure than openbox, as there is no equivalent of things like obmenu and obkey for awesomewm (though im sure not everyone uses those).
Some people think tiling wm's are ugly and like to have window borders. I strongly disagree, but... some people say that.

To assign two (or more) commands to a single keybinding, you’ll have to use the following syntax:
<keybind key="A-F4">
<action name="execute">
<command>thunar</command>
</action>
<action name="execute">
<command>osdctl -s 'Thunar'</command>
</action>
</keybind>This will launch the file manager Thunar and prompt osdsh to display the text “Thunar” on my screen.
Openbox is a lightweight linux stacking desktop environment that is configured with files. Openbox is a cross between a completly minimal desktop such as i3wm, and a full blown desktop like GNOME or KDE. This allows for a large variety of configurations, and more control for the user.
Openbox est un gestionnaire de fenêtres extrêmement rapide, souple et agréable. Cette interface graphique minimale est cohérente à plus d'un titre. Très légère, elle se suffit à elle-même et permet également d'accélérer considérablement la réactivité de Gnome lorsqu'elle remplace Metacity. Elle n'a pas de tableau de bord par défaut, mais il est possible d'accéder aux fenêtres avec le raccourci alt+tab, ou en ajoutant un tableau de bord personnalisé.:-) Openbox est un outil puissant qui n‘a de limite que l‘imagination de l‘utilisateur !
Openbox 3 themes are written as an X resource database, in a file named themerc. The format is quite simple to learn, but there are an enormous number of options available to you.
Each and every option has been documented, with details such as their default values, and which values are or are not valid for them. But to try make it a little more accessible, we'll start with an example theme, which uses every possible option within it. Each of the options can be clicked to read the details about it.
If Xcompmgr is used solely to provide tint2 with transparency effects it can be run at boot by changing the autostart section in ~/.config/openbox/autostart to this:
Launch Xcomppmgr and tint2 with openbox
if which tint2 >/dev/null 2>&1; then
(sleep 2 && xcompmgr) &
(sleep 2 && tint2) &
fi
Other (better) ways to make Xcompmgr run at startup are discussed in the Openbox article.
Fullscreen/Overlay
To force tint2 to stay on top of the application (overlay), you need to set the panel_layer option appropriately. This can be helpful when you switch from a fullscreen window to a normal application using Alt-Tab. There is a discussion on this at Crunchbang Forum
#Panel
panel_layer = top
strut_policy = follow_size
Tint2 se présente sous forme d'une barre de tâches très légère et facile à configurer.
Il inclut une zone de notification (systray).
Son installation et sa configuration sont faciles à réaliser en éditant son fichier “tint2rc”.
Cependant, un utilitaire graphique permet de le faire tintwizard.
