Re: [solved]Changing my Openbox3 menu

Editing the lines that begin with "menu." should be the right start. (;

You may want something like this:

!! Lime by mBlack
!! More themes ...
!! Menu settings

menu.title.bg: flat
menu.title.bg.color: #000000
menu.title.text.color: #ffffff
menu.title.text.justify: center 

menu.items.bg: flat solid
menu.items.bg.color: #000000
menu.items.bg.border.color: #aaaaaa
menu.items.text.color: #ffffff
menu.items.justify: left

menu.items.disabled.text.color: #000000
menu.bullet.image.color: #aaaaaa
menu.bullet.selected.image.color: #aaaaaa

menu.items.active.bg: flat
menu.items.active.bg.color: #ffffff
menu.items.active.text.color: #000000

Well... changing the colors should be fairly easy. Or did I misunderstand you?

It should be enough if you reload your openbox configuration. If I remember correctly it's called "Reconfigure" in openbox menu.
