So far, i usually use Abiword and there all is fine. There is only one situation where there is a problem and that's in Firefox in one specific site where the textinput is displayed in plack on a grey background, which is ugly for the little contrast. But otherwise, it seems, for the little i'm doing, all fine.
For the rest, for me personally a fluxbox (and also sincerely an openbox) standalone desktop is fine because i neither need nor i like desktop icons. I prefer fluxbox because of its way to be configured (but may be that's about taste) and for its built-in transparency options (which i widely use). What i forgot to say i also use compton with following '.compton.conf' (the base i got from some wiki, do not remember anymore which, may be debian):

Finally, you see, your big effort in helping me out with the starting problems in some way gave some kind of a result
Thanks again for that!
