Openbox mmaker menu style application list on i3.

I just installed i3 and I love dmenu but still the only thing I miss from openbox is the menu, which listed installed applications in a categorized list generated by mmaker. The problem is that there are some applications that I dont really remember the names of, so I need something that will list the installed applictations in openbox way. What menu does openbox use(right click menu) or is it integrated with OB? If so, are there any alternatives?

Re: Openbox mmaker menu style application list on i3.

Openbox's menu is built in to the WM, but menumaker can work with dozens (or hundreds) of different menus.  Check the AUR for choices.

I used one quite a long time ago - I think it was 'mygtkmenu' - it felt a lot like the openbox menu, but it was actually easier to configure.

mygtkmenu seems good though I dont think it supports mmaker or is able to generate menu configuratoin automatically. I will find something that supports mmaker. Thanks!!
