<!doctype refentry PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V4.1//EN" [ <!-- Process this file with docbook-to-man to generate an nroff manual page: `docbook-to-man manpage.sgml > manpage.1'. You may view the manual page with: `docbook-to-man manpage.sgml | nroff -man | less'. A typical entry in a Makefile or Makefile.am is: manpage.1: manpage.sgml docbook-to-man $< > $@ The docbook-to-man binary is found in the docbook-to-man package. Please remember that if you create the nroff version in one of the debian/rules file targets (such as build), you will need to include docbook-to-man in your Build-Depends control field. --> <!ENTITY dhsection "<manvolnum>1</manvolnum>"> <!ENTITY dhucpackage "<refentrytitle>OPENBOX</refentrytitle>"> <!ENTITY dhpackage "openbox"> ]> <refentry> <refmeta> &dhucpackage; &dhsection; </refmeta> <refnamediv> <refname>&dhpackage;</refname> <refpurpose>A minimalistic, highly configurable, next generation window manager with extensive standards support.</refpurpose> </refnamediv> <refsynopsisdiv> <cmdsynopsis> <command>&dhpackage;</command> <arg><option>--help</option></arg> <arg><option>--version</option></arg> <arg><option>--replace</option></arg> <arg><option>--reconfigure</option></arg> <arg><option>--restart</option></arg> <arg><option>--sm-disable</option></arg> <arg><option>--sync</option></arg> <arg><option>--debug</option></arg> <arg><option>--debug-focus</option></arg> <arg><option>--debug-xinerama</option></arg> </cmdsynopsis> </refsynopsisdiv> <refsect1> <title>DESCRIPTION</title> <para>Openbox is minimalistic, highly configurable, next generation window manager with extensive standards support.</para> <para>You can start Openbox in three ways:</para> <para>If you run a display manager such as GDM, you will find 3 entries in the login session type menu for Openbox: <command>GNOME/Openbox</command>, <command>KDE/Openbox</command> and <command>Openbox</command>. If you want to use Openbox within GNOME or KDE, you can choose the appropriate entry, and it will launch GNOME or KDE with Openbox as the window manager.</para> <para>The third option at log in, which is <command>Openbox</command> without a session manager, uses the <command>openbox-session</command> command to start Openbox. On log in, <command>&dhpackage;</command> will run the ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh script if it exists, and will run the system-wide script @configdir@/openbox/autostart.sh otherwise. You may place anything you want to run automatically in those files, for example: </para> <blockquote><literallayout> xsetroot -solid grey & gnome-settings-daemon &</literallayout></blockquote> <para>Make sure that each line is followed by a "&" or else the script will stop there and further commands will not be executed. You can use the @configdir@/openbox/autostart.sh file as an example for creating your own.</para> <para>The default @configdir@/openbox/autostart.sh runs a number of things with Openbox.</para> <para>Lastly, if you use <command>startx</command> to launch your X session, you can set up a ~/.xinitrc file to run <command>openbox-session</command> and follow the same directions as above regarding the autostart.sh file.</para> <para>You can use the <command>obconf</command> tool to configure Openbox easily with a graphical interface, however more in-depth configuration is possible by editing the configuration files by hand.</para> <para>The default configuration and menu files are installed in @configdir@/openbox/, and the user configuration is placed in ~/.config/openbox/.
