When I used to run fluxbox back in the day Krellm was amazing. You can get all kinds of custom krells for volume/screen brightness/ system monitoring/ whatever. It is also very lightweight. I think I might have a screenshot of my old setup, I will post it if I can find it.
Found it. (pic8.co) I think this is from like 2009 or something. I had all keyboard shortcuts and 16 virtual desktops. GkrellM was rolled up and I could alt-k to drop it down and roll it back up.
