after ratpoison, i decided to look for something more minimalistc.
Google answered dwm http://www.suckless.org/dwm/
This littile thing (final executable < 30KB !! ) works really great. It has 9 workspaces. Is highly Customizable. Maybe the only obstacle is that it has to be configured from source. But that’s is really easy, if u know any programming in C.
here i post the config.h (It’s still the first draft, will modify it further later)
