162 <para>
163 <application>Openbox</application>'s right click menu can be used to
164 launch programs. The menu itself is configured with 2 files,
165 <filename>/etc/xdg/openbox/menu.xml</filename> and
166 <filename>~/.config/openbox/menu.xml</filename>. To make changes to the
167 menu, copy /etc/xdg/openbox/menu.xml to ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml and
168 edit it:
169 </para>
170
171<screen role="user"><userinput>cp -rf /etc/xdg/openbox ~/.config</userinput></screen>
172 <para>
173
174 <filename>~/.config/openbox/menu.xml</filename> can be edited with a
175 text editor or you can install
176 <ulink url="http://obmenu.sourceforge.net/">Obmenu</ulink> (requires
177 <xref linkend="pyxml"/> and <xref linkend="pygtk"/>).
178 </para>
179
180 <para>
181 To have icons in your right click menu requires installing
182 <xref linkend="imlib2"/> before you install
183 <application>Openbox</application>. To set an icon for an entry in the
184 menu edit <filename>~/.config/openbox/menu.xml</filename> and add an
185 icon to the &lt;item&gt; tag like this:
186 </para>
187
188<screen>&lt;item label="Mplayer" icon="/usr/share/pixmaps/mplayer.png"&gt;</screen>
189
190 <para>
191 Many other aspects of <application>Openbox</application>'s behaviour are
192 configured with <filename>~/.config/openbox/rc.xml</filename> such as
193 what keybindings are used to launch programs or which mouse button
194 launches the main menu.
195 </para>
196
197 <para>
198 Details of the theme that <application>Openbox</application> applies to
199 window decorations are configured in
200 <filename>~/.config/openbox/rc.xml</filename>. You can get a list of the
201 available themes with the command:

216
217 <para>
218 If you want to set a background image to your desktop you can use
219 <xref linkend="display"/> and launch it from ~/.xinitrc just before
220 openbox:
221 </para>
222
223<screen role="user"><userinput>cat &gt; ~/.xinitrc &lt;&lt; "HERE_DOC"
224display -backdrop -window root /path/to/beautiful/picture.jpeg
225exec openbox
226HERE_DOC</userinput></screen>
227
228 <para>
229 Or if you like a bit of variety, put a selection of images in a folder
230 (in this example, the directory ~/.config/backgrounds) and choose one at
231 random each time you <command>xinit</command>:
232 </para>
233
234<screen role="user"><userinput>cat &gt; ~/.xinitrc &lt;&lt; "HERE_DOC"
235# make an array which lists the pictures:
236picture_list=(~/.config/backgrounds/*)
237# create a random integer between 0 and the number of pictures:
238random_number=$(( ${RANDOM} % ${#picture_list[@]} ))
239# display the chosen picture:
240display -backdrop -window root "${picture_list[${random_number}]}"
241exec openbox
242HERE_DOC</userinput></screen>
243
244 <para>
245 If you like to have the numlock key set whan you start Xorg, install
246 <ulink url="http://home.kde.org/~seli/numlockx/">Numlockx</ulink> and
247 add that to your xinitrc. Another useful application is
248 <xref linkend="dbus"/>
