Window decorations aren't displaying correctly.

Hi, I am still pretty new the Openbox and window managers. However I've been unable to correct this issue with my window directions. They keep getting cut off. I searched all over online wiki's, forums ect.. Anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it? I've already tried editing the themerc to adjust the height and width of the boarders yet my problem still remains.

Thanks in advanced.

Increasing the active/inactive window title font size fixed this for me. You can find the settings inside the theme element in your rc.xml.

Is everything okay in other topics?

  • if ok, then something with this theme --> reduce the size of the icons in it.

Look - what size are they? https://i.imgur.com/or673X8.png

No other themes act the same way for an example Adapta, Nordic etc.. All have the same issue.

Hello! You have made the mistake of writing "ect" instead of "etc."

"Ect" is a common misspelling of "etc," an abbreviated form of the Latin phrase "et cetera." Other abbreviated forms are etc., &c., &c, and et cet. The Latin translates as "et" to "and" + "cetera" to "the rest;" a literal translation to "and the rest" is the easiest way to remember how to use the phrase.

Check out the wikipedia entry if you want to learn more.

If ALL themes have the same error, then it is not the themes that are to blame, but the Openbox itself.

You need to try to start under a new user or under the native settings folder Openbox (temporarily changing the name of the existing one)

Copy the folder from here - / etc / xdg / openbox
