GNOME Menu -> Openbox Menu

I'm trying to switch to Openbox from GNOME (yay) and used `mmaker -vf OpenBox3` to generate a menu. Except, it's a mess with tons of things I'd never use.

So my question, is it possible to convert GNOME menu entries to Openbox menu entries?

Re: GNOME Menu -> Openbox Menu

 mmaker -vf OpenBox3

has pretty much done just that.

The easiest thing to do is open .config/openbox/menu.xml in an editor and remove all the entries that you don't want.

The beauty of OB is you can make it do just about anything...

If you need a graphical editor, install obmenu. It should make your initial editing go a bit faster.

mmaker doesn't use the same menu generation that GNOME, KDE, etc. uses, it just scans for apps itself IIRC.

I think this is what you want.
