All below package names are from the Arch repositories. Some packages are exclusive to the AUR only.  
**Windowmaker dockapps may require manual source code fixes.**

## Required packages
the bare minimum of this setup
```
xorg-server                 - I don't use Wayland and almost nothing on this list supports it.
windowmaker                 - The desktop. Self explanatory.
wmclock                     - The clock, you'd be a loser without one.
wmsystemtray                - Support for XDG tray icons, required for many applications.
```
