119 | To start, the BLFS editors recommend using <application>openbox</application>.
|

120 | At this point both the background and the panel will be black. Right clicking
|
---|
121 | on the background will bring up a menu and selecting "Desktop Preferences"
|

122 | will allow you to change the background color or set a background image.

127 | panel will bring up a menu that will allow you to customize the panel

128 | including adding widgets and setting the background color. The BLFS
|

130 | Task Manager widgets.
