Looks kind of like ion3, which I LOVED and used until Tuomo went to the darkside. Ion3 was pure genius, IMHO. We have Tritium http://tritium.sourceforge.net/ in Debian, which behaves a lot like ion3, but is written in python, and is very light. I like wmii for tiling wm's too, however, the question was about a DE, not a WM. DE = desktop environment, this includes a WM, and generally a bunch of integrated packages/software that go with it and run a lot of stuff in the background. WM = simply a window manager. I generally use just a WM, primarily openbox, but I have used Ion3, wmii, dwm, tritium, and others. (of these, openbox is the only one that isn't a "tiling wm"). I installed LXDE on my Mom's computer (when I fixed her crappy Win2k machine for the last time, by installing Debian, about 4 years ago, since which she's never had single computer problem, whereas I was constantly having to mess with that win2k installation, and used to spend visits fixing the computer. Now I spend them drinking tea and watching Game of Thrones with Mom. Much better!) tony -- https://tonybaldwin.info art, music, software by me, tony 3F330C6E
