So I installed OpenBSD 7.0 on my iMac G3 and well no desktop environment will fully install because of missing packages… even compiling CDE was a no go because KSH93 is broken on macppc. At least it’s a step in the right direction as far as getting anything graphical working.
You could try giving https://github.com/morgant/mlvwm a try to compile, also extra mac flare :D

Fun fact: Openbox, Blackbox and Fluxbox all stopped active development around 2015. What happened in that year?
Anothre fun fact: FVWM is still more or less actively developed: https://github.com/fvwmorg/fvwm3

Thomas recently finished version 1.0.3! Some major changes include: * perllib: remove references to Tk #502 (ThomasAdam) * Remove xpmroot link. #495 (somiaj) * Remove FvwmConsoleC.pl front-end #379 (slazav) * New DesktopConfiguration mode: shared which mimiks how desktops are handled by other WMs such as Xmonad or Spectrwm in that desks are shared across all attached monitors. * Panframe support has been reworked which means switching between pages with the mouse on monitor edges should now work as expected. * Lots of fixes to plug memory-leaks. Check it out here!
