Re: Share your Openbox Desktop ! :)

I've only 2 workspaces for floating windows; on whole first I've Firefox running, on second - Thunderbird, on third - Pidgin. If I've to, I'm using Alt+LMB to move window.

Re: Share your Openbox Desktop ! :)

How do you maximize/move windows? Do you aim every time at that 1 pixel?

There are keyboard shortcuts for that: Alt-F5 and Alt-F10 AFAIR.

I just ask myself how you realize that many buttons in the titlebar. Normally you just have the window-menu, minimize, maximize and close - but you have 2 more! How do you made it? I want to have a button to make the window stay on top, is that possible?

Thanks in advance!

The buttons on the left are Omnipresent (show window on all desktops) and Shade (Roll up/down)

Take a look at Theme on the Openbox Wiki. That's where I found out how to do it :-)

Cheers
Patrick

Re: Share your Openbox Desktop ! :)

I use the xfzen-green theme along with a (Green) Modification on the Onyx-Citrus Openbox theme (Which I renamed Onyx-Lime!) As well as a desktop background I created from the stock blue Arch wallpaper, and added XClock (Colours changed, borders removed, and made to always be on the bottom). I don't use panels or Conky's, I like my screen empty, although I did slip up and add icons to my menu - Along with a green Chromium icon I created (Amateurishly, if anyone has a real one to share I'd be grateful!)

File manager on show here is SpaceFM, with Gnome-Wise icons.

Hope you all like black and green!

Re: Share your Openbox Desktop ! :)

My current desktop :

country flag on bottom left corner is conky work in progress, supposed to display WAN ip location;
tint2 on the left side since 720P resolution is really short on height ;
pretty basic  / clean, and eveyrthing is keyboard shortcuted, hurray openbox.

Re: Share your Openbox Desktop ! :)

Hey guys, here is a pic of my setup. A few comments:
I go mostly for productivity rather than aesthetics, although I am trying to give my desktop an Arch look. It'd be cool if there were official-ish openbox themes for Arch).
I try to make my desktop visually efficient, so I keep some ugly design choices.
Scrot really messed up the fonts... they all look antialiased, even though I used non-antialiased terminus.

Oh yeah: Openbox / tint2 / urxvt / thunar / dmenu !

It is just stock tint2 from Arch Repos or tint2-svn from AUR.
