I recommend beginner to learn Openbox. Openbox can be used as a standalone Window Manager, or as a Window Manager inside a DE (Desktop Environment).

In LXQT or XFCE4 you can simply type

$ openbox --replace

As a standalone Stacking Window manager. Openbox is the only Stacking WM that I use daily.

I also separate menu files in configuration to make it more modular.

Openbox is the default Window Manager for the lightweight #! Crunchbang/ Bunsenlabs Linux distribution. So I clone theme in my arch.

One of the most common component in Openbox is the famous tint2 panel. You can see how the taskbar has different tint2 looks form those screenshot above.

You can pick tint2 configuration from my collection here

Or make your own cool tint2 taskbar based on this thread.
