Re: Share your Openbox Desktop ! :)

For sure !

Here is the archive : z3bra_conky.tar

Extract it anywhere, and then, place the .conkytheme in your home directory to make it works !

You may also needs some adjustements, But all is explained in the README

Hope you'll enjoy it !

Re: Share your Openbox Desktop ! :)

hey guys I need your help.

I had for a very long time a simple dark openbox theme with an orange contrast color... old screenshot

now i just wanted to change the orange contrast color to something else. I wanted something in the blue direction, so I just testet #1793D0

screen:

Re: Share your Openbox Desktop ! :)

Here is my actual desktop. Using conky, tint2, volumeicon, oblogout, thunar as file manager and nitrogen for wallpaper.
GTK theme is Orta with Oxygen icon theme. Font is snap from the artwiz package.

autostart:

nitrogen --restore &
tint2 &
volumeicon -b &
xcompmgr &
conky -q -c ~/.config/conky/myconkyrc &

The rc.xml is almost like the default one. Here is the keybindings i added to it:

Re: Share your Openbox Desktop ! :)

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

This is only to get no decorations for every openbox window. To get one single Border Pixel, just adjust your themerc:

!! Borders
window.active.border.color: #yourcolor
window.inactive.border.color: #yourcolor
border.width: 1

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

Keyboard shortcuts. Also if you like to use the mouse: Mousebindings with ALT or other MODKEY

I simply move Windows around with Super+arrowkeys. Resize with Super+ALT+arrowkeys. It's simple, minimalistic and damn faster then using the mouse.
