Re: Share your Openbox Desktop ! :)

My simple Openbox 3.5.0 desktop with menu icons (a new feature in version 3.5.0).

http://ompldr.org/tOXhmMw

That looks ubercool! How can I build my menu to look like yours, with those icons?
Mind sharing the conky config file in the top section?

Thx!

This is new in 3.5 (you need openbox 3.5.0-3 with imlib2 support compiled in, however). Try this: http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Configuration#Menu

Yep. Also, Openbox package in community repository already have imlib2 support compiled in since version 3.5.0-2, so if you're using that or a later version, you're good to go.

Another good tutorial on how to add icons to menu is this blog post by Og Maciel:
http://en.ogmaciel.com/icons-on-menus-f … Sourcee%29

Regarding the conky config file, it's a mess right now. Let me clean it up first and I'll post it up for you, okay?

Managed to apply the same look, THANK YOU SCM

Just one question ... is it possible so set the undecorate property as default, instead of keybind in Openbox?
Thanks for the help.

Re: Share your Openbox Desktop ! :)

Sorry, sorry, sorry, fellow Archers, I did not search good enough the first time....

Default undecorated windows in Openbox:

In rc.xml:

<applications>
     <application class="*">
         <decor>no</decor>
    </application>

Although @killerturtle said how to set undecorated windows in Openbox, I would like to know if its possible to control the thickness of windows.
I would like to have a thicker border like yours.

Thanks in advance.

Solved the issue first applying Unia's openbox theme and then setting decor to no on rc.xml file.

I thought that was in the theme definition itself, not an openbox option.

Thank you all guys!

I would like to know if its possible to control the thickness of windows.

This is settings are placed in the file ~/.theme/yourtheme/openbox/themerc

border.width: 3
border.color: #424242
menu.border.width: 3
menu.border.color: #424242
