but it doesn't show the menu, any ideas?

I've never seen that form, the `action="Press"` needs to be in the mousbind tag. Here's an excerpt from mine:

	<context name="Root">
		<!-- Menus -->
		<mousebind button="Middle" action="Press">
			<action name="ShowMenu"><menu>client-list-combined-menu</menu></action>
		</mousebind>
		<mousebind button="Right" action="Press">
			<action name="ShowMenu"><menu>root-menu</menu></action>
		</mousebind>
	</context>

ok, seems that perl's module XML::Smart is messing around, I'll look into it

Trilby · 2014-07-17 22:27:53

Huh? Did you use some other tool to generate your rc.xml?

Joel · 2014-07-18 17:17:30

Only to update the theme name, is there another way to change the theme name outside of openbox environment?

Trilby · 2014-07-18 17:54:43

I have no idea what you are talking about. Did you write that rc.xml or did some tool create it? If some tool created it, it looks like it did it wrong - which tool was used?

I don't know what the theme name has to do with this - the theme is not the issue, the mouse bindings are. As the theme is embeded, the name is really irrelevant, isn't it? You can simple change it in a text editor if you really wanted.

I'm using a perl script that reads my current xfce settings (theme, icons, mouse, etc.) and write it to have the same settings in my openbox environment; with perl I use the XML::Smart to update the rc.xml file to change the openbox theme, but I didn't notice the "action" attribute became an element in the updated rc.xml, pointed by you Trilby.
