Waimea
Waimea is a fast and highly customizable virtual multiple desktop window manager. It has a very advanced style engine with features like Blackbox style support, pixmap style support, and transparent textures through the Xrender extension. Text can be rendered double buffered using both X core fonts and Xft fonts. Waimea also includes a fast lightweight menu system with dynamic menu support. The built-in action configuration system makes it the most configurable window manager available.

indeed, I use waimea now since a week ago, and I find this the best wm ever!
But how can I open some themes like in gnome (gtk)?
so, I mean, not only the menu and border of programs, but the look of the programs to! (like scrollbar and all that stuf) is that posible?
if yes, how?
Just what I have been looking for!!!
A simple fast Windowmanager that I can customize.

I think that this is the best window manager out there. Very light and fast but also with some nice advanced features.
