Originally, I started using fluxbox, but it wasn’t cutting it for me, mainly because it has significant problems with ‘xcompmgr’ and certain programs with transparencies. So I ventured to openbox. At first look, wow, it has no panels, no functional desktop, really, it has nothing, just a simple right click menu for all of your applications. After exploring a little, i came across wbar, tint2, conky & trayer. All which are very useful for the openbox desktop. Below is a screenshot, and additionally, I created a script that will mirror my setup for your desktop. Let me know what you think.
