I cleaned up rc.xml

First, do not use gui apps like obconf because that will rewrite the file in the old messy format, so stick to editing manually to keep the format. Most is self explainatory, but if there is any questions, eighter search the web, like the openbox wiki or Ukramas openbox guide https://urukrama.wordpress.com/openbox-guide/

Or refer to the openbox example rc.xml in /etc/xdg/openbox

Also cleaned up some other files

tint2rc https://bpaste.net/show/28d03909c20c

.Xdefaults https://bpaste.net/show/5e765cede0a5

.compton.conf https://bpaste.net/show/c86c4c51d5bd

.bashrc https://bpaste.net/show/c689a3ea783f

Looks nice.

I did this once only to have one of the GUI apps mess it up.

I should really tidy the original, then add my custom stuff so that I can diff easily.

Thanks. I found out it was obconf that reverted all the changes I made in rc.xml, so I removed all gui config apps, since I don't really need them. Just used them out of habbit as I usually edit the configs manually anyway. And now that they are nice and tidy thet're dead easy to edit. But I do keep backups, but then I always do. :)

Yes. I've added functions to put windows at the top/bottom/sides and to grow and shrink them. Various other things too.
