A tutorial published in zdnet portal explains how we can customize OpenBox window manager, which is by their own definition a highly configurable, next generation window manager with extensive standards support.
There are a lot of window managers available for Linux/X Window System installation. The Wikipedia comparison of X window managers lists at least 36 of them, for example.

After installing openbox, I logged out of the Xfce desktop, and then on the lightdm login screen at the top right corner, I selected an openbox session rather than Xfce. I then logged in, which was amazingly fast (something like 1 or 2 seconds), but the screen that I got looked like this screenshot on the right.
