Version: 3.4.11 (Openbox) 2.0.3 (Obconf) 0.3.3 (openbox-menu)
Included are obconf for configuration, ob-xdgmenu (by rarsa) and obmenu-refresh (by plinej, modded by me) for menu-generation.Openbox is a highly configurable, next generation window manager with extensive standards support.
Start-command is
Code: Select all
xwin openbox-session
If you've allready installed openbox:
This package will NOT override any files in $HOME (user-settings) , with the exception of the generated menu.
On the other side that means, that the package will use your 'old' settings. If you want to use/test the defaults of this package, rename $HOME/.config/openbox to $HOME/.config/OLDopenbox before running the new package.
The package installs it's defaults to /etc (systemwide settings).
If you have 'modded' any of the default-themes in /usr/share/themes backup before installing.

Compiled and tested in 4.31.
If you need a panel, look for a lxpanel, fbpanel, tint2 .... An actual lxpanel-package could be found here:

If you only need a tray, look for stalonetray.
Openbox-Menu
If you're using the above linked lxpanel, you might want to use a corresponding structure/sorting. If so, install openbox-menu, a menu-generator that also uses menu-cache from lxde. For instructions how to activate the new mechanism, please read Usr/share/doc/openbox-menu/README.PUPPY.
A 'downside' should be mentioned: The applications-menu is a submenu (see pic below). Other than that, it works fine.
If you want to run this 'standalone' (without lxpanel) you'll need at least menu-cache from the above link.
Thanks to plinej and rarsa.
