All the *box WMs are fairly similar. If you are new to them, I suggest
Fluxbox, as it handles keystroke shortcuts by itself. As far as I know, at
least Blackbox uses a keyboard handler application for that, which you would
need to set up. There are themes available for all of them.
But I don't know if that is still correct. I use Fluxbox a lot.
IceWM, which David suggests, is also very slim. It has a menu button in the
taskbar, very similar to the infamous M$ Windows, but some people like that
feature nevertheless.
