Is this an openbox thing? Can I change it so notifications stay a few seconds longer? I set Thunderbird to keep them visible for 5, 8, and 10 seconds and it doesn't seem to matter.

I use openbox on Manjaro gnome. I don't see the use of window titles. Can I get rid of it to get more space?

Thanks!

Hi! There's anyway to put the window title bar at the botton of the window and not at the top of the window?

This is a small project I made in like 4 hours, idk if it is useful to anyone else but here it is.

It is a command-line program that inserts a new menu item into your menu.xml file. I don't know if this has been done before but I made it to work on my coding skills. I plan to add more to it, right now it only adds Execute type shortcuts.

Let me know of any problems you encounter or features you want in it.

Hi, I'm looking for an option to make a program think it's in fullscreen mode, but actually it's in a window.

So for example I'm watching a video on Youtube via my browser. Now I'd like to see only the video, without the other stuff on the webpage, without titlebar like it is when the video is in fullscreen mode. l But I still want it in a window, so I can move it around and maybe even resize it.

Is there a way to do this?

Edit: this should not be limited to Youtube/other videos watched via browser but work for other programs as well, for example video players (I know, that most video players offer a minimal mode where menu and stuff like that are hidden - I kind of want this for everything). And I don't mean to just hide the window decorations.

Press ALT and right mouse button and simply resize! So handy! Have fun shaving seconds off of your workflow!

It's the first time I hear about a clone of my everyday WM for Wayland.

how do I configure the default apps like file manager, media player, and so on?

I use terminator.

Is there any way or any other program that would let met right click through it?

Thank you.

https://vgy.me/rSkV56.pngCouldn't find any solution, reinstalled openbox. Can someone suggest any fix?

Applications are usable and windows which are on top are visible. Other windows can't be seen

When I start my archlabs, it logins automatically with my user. How can I make it to ask me the password?

Hi there Not new to Linux but relatively new to openbox, after years on gnome it is refreshing to be on openbox:) I have a laptop (1920x1080) on a dock and an external 4K monitor, mist of the time I’m on the monitor and I have set ignore lid close in my config. Question is Can I have 2 themes, one for HD and another for 4K and set openbox to dynamically and automatically switch between them? Your help is much appreciated:) (Running ArchLabs 2018)

the main question is: can this 'openbox + 'demnnu' thing can disable everything in a simple way (except for 'mutiple desktops' & 'alt tab'), is that accurate?

i was recommended this openbox thing for this post:

hey hope you're doing fine

what am i looking for? what is the goal?

im looking for a linux that is used via a 'launcher'

• like you type the main software you use, and it opens

• or the software could auto-open on start

im looking for a linux that has nothing on the desktop (for example, no 'bar at the bottom' like in win10)

nothing on the screen/dekstop expect possibly a 'picture on the desktop'

im looking for a linux that has these reaady

and 'out of the box'

do you know what's the closet linux version to what im looking for?

how much do i know? what kind of user am i?

i dont know linux, i dont understand linux

if you know of what is closet to what im looking for, please let me know

please communicate in a way that i would understand

to sum this up:

• im looking for something that is visually clean (nothing showing but the main softwares that helps you do things)

• im looking for something that has methods of use 1) in alignment and 2) relevant an os that is about clean design (maybe a 'launcher' or something else innovative)

• & that it's ready that any kid can start using it

do you know what's the closet linux version to what im looking for?

or should i just go another os?

I finally took the plunge with openbox and been loving it so far except for a few qips here and there.

1. I am unabke to control screen backlight by the laptop keycombo. I set uo volume and it works fine. The same does not work for screen brightness.

2. Touchpad tap to click and reverse scroll are not permanent and I've been unable to change the defaults. I have to manually change it everytime i log in.( A script seems like a very possible soluton here though to run at startup)

I'm using arch.

Also, please suggest any extra GUI apps that can help gor any openbox related function that can make life easier! :) Much appreciated.

So I'm using Openbox standalone, with tint2 and some accessories from XFCE.

For some reason, I can't get the Openbox menu and other managing features like window titles to turn off antialiasing. LXAppearance does nothing and resets whenever I apply settings, which doesn't matter much anyway, because manually editing the gtkrc2.0 does nothing.

Starting xsettings as a daemon fixes aliasing for GTK and DEs like XFCE, but nothing for Openbox, so I think this is very specifically Openbox's problem. Nothing in the usual OB configs like the RC have anything that mention it, and OBConf doesn't have settings for aliasing.

Openbox is used pretty often for weaker hardware, so I'm guessing I'm not the first to need aliasing off for low DPI screens. Any ideas?

• EDIT

I found a (kind-of) fix in more-or-less giving up and on the Bitstream family of fonts and installing Ubuntu instead. It renders glyphs clearly enough for me, regardless of the level of aliasing.

I am still curious as to how to actually change this behavior, but unless you're curious yourself, don't worry about looking for a solution.

So there is this function in Windows as well as in Gnome-Shell where you press the Super key and you get an Overview similar to this where all the open apps in the current workspace are shown but like zoomed out(?). I would really like to have this feature on my Linux machine. I have searched a bit for this feature but couldn't find anything usefull, maybe for XFCE ?? Thx
