There is a configuration utility for IceWM called IcePref.  It's 
written in Python and uses the PyGTK bindings for the GTK widgets.
I found it handles all options and friendlier than just editing
the config file.  It ships with a number of themes and many more
are available through themes.org, although quite a number are
available in a tarball from the main site.

Since IceWM doesn't have the dock, it is likely lighter than Windowmaker
(I had tried Afterstep before IceWM and found quite a difference, apples
and oranges, I know).  Well, anyway, I find that I like it!
