I was going to post a thread on this on the Ubuntu Forum
Community forum but thought as there is a bunch of delelopers here to
see if this is even possible. If so possibly in this Xubuntu release or
the next? Or possibly long term a standalone. Anyways even if not
possible for Xubuntu it might give some developers something to work on
in the future.<br>

Rock Paper Scisors basicly is a WM mod possibly made with
components from other wm components. What it does is replace menu and
windows and window frams with what paper like graphics resembles post
it notes. The window frame would be a thin paper like bar
with a slightly lighter or darker shade outlining the outline. The
scroll bar would be replaced by two triangles one for the top and
another for the bottom. For text windows the (2pixel) outline would be
a shade darker than the text/ writing area. The pannel would conform to
the paper graphics. The minimise, Maximise and close buttons would be
modified to fit the theme little scaaures of paper with
corisponding - ^x etc. <br>
<br>
The hole Idea of Paper scisors is to create an desktop enviroment
that resembles a bunch of sheets of paper which allows for other
possiblities such as text documents with a lined paper text are or even
graph paper. <br>
<br>
This hopefully creates creates a simplistic enviorment that
is very low on resource requirements. Also for notebooks screen space
is at a premium its minimalistic approach may be desirable.<br>
<br>
Anyways is this even possible and could it be made to drasticly
lower the ram and cpu requirements to an extent that would make it
feasable.</blockquote><div><br>
<br>
Much more inportantly even if a hole new WM mod is not created it
may be possible to get a window manager set up, sort of
simplistic that has very low low ram and processor load sort of try to
make X run lighter.<br>
