.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.PP
|
|
Openbox is minimalistic, highly configurable, next generation window
|
|
manager with extensive standards support.
|
|
.PP
|
|
You can start Openbox in three ways:
|
|
.PP
|
|
If you run a display manager such as GDM, you will find 3 entries
|
|
in the login session type menu for Openbox:
|
|
\fBGNOME/Openbox\fR, \fBKDE/Openbox\fR and \fBOpenbox\fR. 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.
|
|
.PP
|
|
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
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
.RS
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
xsetroot \-solid grey &
|
|
gnome-settings-daemon &
|
|
.fi
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
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.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The default @configdir@/openbox/autostart.sh runs a number of things
|
|
with Openbox.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Lastly, if you use \fBstartx\fR to launch your X
|
|
session, you can set up a ~/.xinitrc file to run
|
|
\fBopenbox-session\fR and follow the same directions as
|
|
above regarding the autostart.sh file.
|
|
.PP
|
|
You can use the \fBobconf\fR tool to configure Openbox
|
|
easily with a graphical interface, however more in-depth configuration
|
|
is possible by editing the configuration files by hand.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The default configuration and menu files are installed in
|
|
@configdir@/openbox/, and the user configuration is placed in
|
|
~/.config/openbox/. You can copy the default configuration and menus
|
|
to ~/.config/openbox and edit it to your liking.
|
|
.SH "OPTIONS"
|
|
.PP
|
|
These are the possible options that \fBopenbox\fR accepts:
|
|
.IP "\fB\-\-help\fP" 10
|
|
Show a summary of the command line options available
|
|
and exit.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-\-version\fP" 10
|
|
Show the version of the program and exit.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-\-replace\fP" 10

|
|
reload its configuration.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-\-restart\fP" 10
|
|
If Openbox is already running on the display, tell it to
|
|
restart. This is useful if you have upgraded Openbox and don't
|
|
want to restart X.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-\-exit\fP" 10
|
|
Exit Openbox.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-\-sm-disable\fP" 10
|
|

|

|
|

|
|
.IP "\fB\-\-debug-session\fP" 10
|
|

|
|
.IP "\fB\-\-debug-xinerama\fP" 10
|
|

|
|
xinerama support.
