More powerfull panels

Multiple actions are binded to panel buttons. Hover over button to see tooltip. Most of buttons now have right click action binded to handy options.
For example:
File Manager icon right click let you quickly browse important directories (configurable) and install/run some file related utilities.
Web Browser icon right click let you quickly install/run alternative web browsers and configure default.

Even better control with keyboard

1. Quick tiling – use ctrl+alt+keypad 1...9. Image below shows it all 🙂

2. Windows are dynamically binded to keyboard shortcuts, so it is possible to reach any window with one or a few keystrokes.
Keybinds are presented on the window titlebar. Use super + letter to switch

Themes

New themes: Gruvbox, Nordic, Dracula

Try new themes… Menu -> Mabox Config -> Theme Manager…
I am trying to make these themes eyes friendly.
Top panel provided by those meta-themes does not have a launcher by default, which is separated and available on right screen edge (autohide).
