Pantheon Lite is a fork of elementary OS's Pantheon DE, replacing their gala window manager and compositor with openbox and picom.

See a brief demonstration on YouTube.

See the latest dotfiles for configuration.

I recommend you clean-chroot build this package, first clean-chroot building its AUR dependency, pantheon-qq-common (which also has AUR dependencies), preinstalling it at build time, without the use of an AUR helper:

First, follow the directions for pantheon-qq-common.

Then, use it to build this package:

$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/pantheon-lite.git
$ cd pantheon-3d
$ makechrootpkg -c -r $CHROOT -I ../pantheon-qq-common/pantheon-qq-common-1-1-any.pkg.tar.zst -I ../pantheon-settings-daemon-git/pantheon-settings-daemon-git-1.0.0.r18.e4b709d-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst -I ../pantheon-dock-instctl-git/pantheon-dock-instctl-git-r2179.4a0b6af-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
# pacman -U --asdeps *.pkg.tar.zst
$ cd ..

Update: If your next session after upgrading looks ugly; it may just be that picom (formerly compton) is not running. I have removed it from the gnome session file. The compositor has always been an optional thing, which I often find myself killing to free more resources.

I have newly included an openbox autostart config file that should initiate picom if it is installed.

Still on the fence about downgrading picom from a dependency to an optdepends.
