Openbox is minimalistic, highly configurable, next generation window
11
manager with extensive standards support.
13
You can start Openbox in three ways:
15
If you run a display manager such as GDM, you will find 3 entries
16
in the login session type menu for Openbox:
17
\fBGNOME/Openbox\fR, \fBKDE/Openbox\fR and \fBOpenbox\fR. If you want to use Openbox
18
within GNOME or KDE, you can choose the appropriate entry, and it will
19
launch GNOME or KDE with Openbox as the window manager.
21
The third option at log in, which is \fBOpenbox\fR without a session manager, uses the \fBopenbox-session\fR command to start Openbox. On log in, \fBopenbox\fR will
22
run the ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh script if it exists, and will run
23
the system-wide script @configdir@/openbox/autostart.sh otherwise. You
24
may place anything you want to run automatically in those files, for
31
xsetroot \-solid grey &
32
gnome-settings-daemon &
36
Make sure that each line is followed by a "&" or else the script will
37
stop there and further commands will not be executed. You can use the
38
@configdir@/openbox/autostart.sh file as an example for creating your
41
The default @configdir@/openbox/autostart.sh runs a number of things
44
Lastly, if you use \fBstartx\fR to launch your X
45
session, you can set up a ~/.xinitrc file to run
46
\fBopenbox-session\fR and follow the same directions as
47
above regarding the autostart.sh file.
49
You can use the \fBobconf\fR tool to configure Openbox
50
easily with a graphical interface, however more in-depth configuration
51
is possible by editing the configuration files by hand.
53
The default configuration and menu files are installed in
54
@configdir@/openbox/, and the user configuration is placed in
55
~/.config/openbox/. You can copy the default configuration and menus
56
to ~/.config/openbox and edit it to your liking.
59
These are the possible options that \fBopenbox\fR accepts:
60
.IP "\fB\-\-help\fP" 10
61
Show a summary of the options available.
62
.IP "\fB\-\-version\fP" 10
63
Show the version of the program.
64
.IP "\fB\-\-replace\fP" 10
65
Replace the currently running window manager.
66
.IP "\fB\-\-reconfigure\fP" 10
67
If Openbox is already running on the display, tell it to
68
reload its configuration.
69
.IP "\fB\-\-restart\fP" 10
70
If Openbox is already running on the display, tell it to
71
restart. This is useful if you have upgraded Openbox and don't
73
.IP "\fB\-\-sm-disable\fP" 10
74
Do not connect to the session manager.
75
.IP "\fB\-\-sync\fP" 10
76
Run in synchronous mode (for debugging).
77
.IP "\fB\-\-debug\fP" 10
78
Display debugging output.
79
.IP "\fB\-\-debug-focus\fP" 10
80
Display debugging output for focus handling.
81
.IP "\fB\-\-debug-xinerama\fP" 10
82
Split the display into two fake xinerama regions, if
83
xinerama is not already enabled. This is for debugging
87
obconf (1), openbox-session(1), openbox-gnome-session(1),
88
openbox-kde-session(1).
