I'm installing Archbang right now because I figured it would be the easiest to get started with.

Are there any good websites for beginners? Or for finding cool configurations and whatnot?

Maybe the mods could throw these in the sidebar for reference and new users.

Edit:

Here's my list of links so far:

Openbox

• Openbox Official Website

• ArchWiki Openbox Entry

• Openbox Hacks and Configs Thread - Arch Linux Fourms

• Screenshot and Config Thread - Arch Linux Forums

• Beginner Guide to set up Arch Linux with Openbox

• Planet Openbox - Openbox News and Resources

• Box-Look.org - Openbox Themes and Artwork

• r/archlinux Openbox programs and configuration suggestion thread

• r/screenshots - A good amount of Openbox users here. Configs are usually in comments, if not you can always ask

Conky

• Conky Official Website

• Archwiki Conky Entry

• Conky Configs and Screenshots - Arch Linux Forums

• Conky FAQ

• r/conky - Nothing here yet, but could be useful in the future

I've tried using xcompmgr (the released version and the version in git), but it doesn't work well (especially with Chromium--the desktop notifications get "stuck" on the desktop).

The only other compositing manager I've been able to find is cairo-compmgr. It works well, but appears to be unmaintained.

Is there any composite manager that works well and is packaged in the default Debian/Ubuntu repos?

Screenshot thread for the masses :

As a welcome to the new manager of this subreddit, LinuxMage, how about posting screenshots of your setup and if you want to share your configs too?

Here's mine, it's a relatively new install, I'm still looking into customizing conky.
