I recently switched from Mint Mate to LXLE. Everything feels snappier except window operations. My ancient video card struggles when I move windows around. I had setup Mate to only show the outline when dragging. How can I do this in LXDE?

Openbox currently doesn't support frame only moving, the only thing you can do thats even relatively close or similar that may help is
Menu>preferences>openbox configuration manager
Move&Resize and uncheck update the window contents while resizing.
Outside of that, frame only moving is not supported.
I would also check
Menu>Preferences>Additional Drivers
to see if there is a proprietary driver available for you graphics chip/card

No proprietary drivers for my Geforce4, but the
update the window contents while resizing
does help a bit, but still lags when moving windows around.
Overall, still seems like an improvement. Thanks for giving us such an awesome distro!
