Hi everyone,
*** New openbox-mintpup light setup ***
Thanks to the suggestions from William for using rox-pinboard!.
There's choice now to use rox-pinboard or tint2 left-panel for providing the desktop (see below and screenshots)
As I didn't want to change any existing settings for rox, there's one annoying thing:
The iconified windows from rox-pinboard are (for a part) under the conky window.
To disable iconified windows go in rox options and uncheck "Show iconified windows"
Info:
(see also README-setup in the extracted openbox-mintpup_setup-0.0.2.tar.gz)
-------------------
Openbox-mintpup setup, version 0.0.2.
Changes:
- Very much improved menu, it reads now from /etc/xdg/menus/mintpup-ob-applications.menu.
It's a modified /etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu
It looks similar to the menu in DebianDog Openbox_xfce version.
- Choice of 2 desktop types:
-- Rox pinboard, desktop provided by rox, with launcher icons, tranparent conky, tint2 bottom panel.
-- Tint2 transparant left-panel with launcher icons, tranparent conky, tint2 bottom panel.
To switch between them: Menu > Desktop Manager
Wallpaper chooser (Menu > Set Wallpaper) is different for Rox pinboard and Tint2 transparant left panel;
for tint2 panel it's nitrogen, for rox-pinboard it's the wallpaper gui program from Terry, just like on JWM.
To install: (can be installed over previous version 0.0.1, will overwrite old configuration in ~/.config/openbox when running 'Start Openbox' from menu):
After apt-get update :
FIRST: Install tint2_0.11+svn20121014-3_i386.deb:
This tint2 version is from Debian Jessie, the Ubuntu Trusty tint2 version is to old.
From terminal in this directory:
dpkg -i tint2_0.11+svn20121014-3_i386.deb
And:
apt-get -f install
THEN:
Install openbox-mintpup_0.0.2_i386.deb:
From terminal in this directory:
dpkg -i openbox-mintpup_0.0.2_i386.deb
And:
apt-get -f install
Total install size: around 9 MB
To start: Jwm menu > System > Start Openbox
To get back to Jwm from Openbox: Menu > Settings > Start Jwm
When installing from previous version installed while inside Openbox-mintpup session, upgrade to 0.0.2 by running Menu > Settings > Start Openbox.
Warning: this will overwrite the configuration in ~/.config/openbox
--------------------------
Download:
Edit: Link to openbox-mintpup_setup-0.0.2 removed, since it conflicts with new package jwm-obmenu (Menu Openbox for Jwm) if openbox-menu is activated.
Replaced by version 0.0.3, conflicting has been fixed.

Toni, I really didn't want not interfere with JWM session, and I think I succeeded with that. except one thing:
In ~/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/globicons some icon paths are added (e.g. for conkytoggle), it doesn't show anything from that on JWM or Icewm though.
Edit2:
openbox-mintpup is now part of the mintpup repository, so to easy install, just in terminal:
Code: Select all
apt-get update # might be required to update the package lists
apt-get install openbox-mintpup
Or install it from Synaptic package manager.
