Work is underway to support the new window manager specification +.\"that both GNOME and KDE use. +.SH OPTIONS +Openbox supports the following command line options: +.TP +.B \-help +Display command line options and compiled-in features, then exit. +.TP +.B \-version +Display version info and exit. +.TP +.BI \-rc \ rcfile +Use another rcfile than the default +.IR "~/.openbox/rc" . +.TP +.BI \-display \ display +Start Openbox on the specified display. +Programs started by Openbox will have the +.B DISPLAY +environment variable set to this value, too. +.SH RUNNING BLACKBOX +This program is usually started by the user's startup script, most times called +.IR ~/.xinitrc . +To run openbox, modify the script by adding +.EX 0 +exec openbox +.EE +as the last executed command of the script. +When Openbox terminates, the X session will terminate too. +.PP +When started, Openbox will try to find a default menu file in +.IR @defaultmenu@ . +You can provide a system-wide menu for your users here. +.PP +On exit or restart, Openbox will save user defaults in the file +.I ~/.openbox/rc +in the user's home directory. +Some resources in this file can be edited by hand. +.SH USING BLACKBOX +From version 0.60.x, Openbox does no keyboard handling by itself; instead, it +relies on an external program +.IR bbkeys (1) +for this. +So, in this section, we will discuss all mouse commands. +.SS Root window (background): +A right click (button 3) will pop up the root menu. +With this, you can launch your applications. +You can also customize this menu for your needs. See above for its location. +A middle click (button 2) will pop up the workspace menu. +You can add or remove a workspace, view +applications running on all workspace, inspect your iconified applications, +and jump directly to any workspace or application. +.PP +Left clicking (button 1) on an application in the Workspaces menu will bring +you to that workspace and raise/focus that application; +middle clicking (button 2) will warp the application to the current workspace. +.SS Toolbar: +The toolbar consists of three fields: a workspace name, the name of the +window that currently has focus, and a clock. +A left click on the toolbar will bring it to the foreground, a +middle click will hide it behind other windows (if AlwaysOnTop is not set), and +the right button will bring up a little menu. +.PP +Using this menu, you can enter a name for the current workspace (when finished, +press Enter). +Also, you can choose the toolbar's position, whether or not it +should be always on top (i.e. it cannot be obscured by other windows), +and whether it should hide itself when the mouse moves away. +.PP +Note: In Openbox versions below 0.60.0, a right click on the toolbar +immediately entered workspace name edit mode. +.SS Window Titlebar and Borders: +A left click on any part of the window's border will raise it. +Dragging then moves the window. +Dragging the resize grips at the bottom left and bottom right +corners resizes the window. +Middle clicking will immediately lower the window. +Right clicking on the border or titlebar pops up the window menu, +containing these commands: +.TP +.B Send To... +Send window to another workspace. +When you select the workspace with the middle button, Openbox will +send you, along with the application, to the selected workspace. +.TP +.B Shade +Shade window (display titlebar only). +.TP +.B Iconify +Iconify window. +The `icon' can be found in the `Icons' submenu of the workspace menu. It will +*NOT* appear on screen otherwise. +.TP +.B Maximize +(Un)Maximize window. +When you click the middle button on this item, the +window will maximize only vertically. +.TP +.B Raise +Raise window. +.TP +.B Lower +Lower window. +.TP +.B Stick +(Un)Stick window. +A stuck window will always be displayed in the current workspace. +.TP +.B Kill Client +Kill (-SIGKILL) owner of window. Only use this if the client refuses to close. +.TP +.B Close +Close the application cleanly. +.PP +When you double click on the titlebar of a window, it will `shade', so +that only the titlebar stays visible. +Another double click will redisplay the window contents. +.SS Window Buttons: +The button at the left upper corner of a window is the Minimize button. +Clicking with any button causes the window to be iconified. +The rightmost button (with the X) closes the application. +The other button on the right (if present) maximizes the window in three ways: +Button 1 causes full screen maximization, button 2 maximizes the window only +vertically, and button 3 only horizontally. +.SS Any menu: +Clicking button 3 in a menu will popdown the menu. +Clicking button 1 on the titlebar of any (sub)menu and then dragging it somewhere +else will cause the menu to stay visible, and not disappear when you click on +a menu item. +.SS Miscellaneous: +When you want to drag a window, but cannot see either the bottom handle or its +titlebar, you can press Alt + button 1 anywhere in the window and then +drag it around. +You can also use Alt + button 1 to raise a partially visible window. +Finally, Alt + button 2 lowers a window, and Alt + button 3 resizes the window. +.SH MENU FILE +A default menu file is installed in +.IR @defaultmenu@ . +Of course, this system-wide menu can be customized for all users at once. +But it is also possible to create a personal menu. +It is a convention to use the directory +.IR "~/.openbox/" +in your home directory, and to create a menu file, e.g. +.I menu +in this directory, or copy the system-wide menu file to this location. +Next, we have to tell Openbox to load our menu file instead of the default. +This is accomplished by adding (or changing) a resource value in the +.I ~/.openbox/rc +file, e.g.: +.EX +session.menuFile: ~/.openbox/menu +.EE +For this change to take effect, Openbox has to be restarted. +Be sure that your menu is usable, then choose `Restart' from the default +Openbox root menu. +.SS Menu syntax +The menu syntax is very simple and very effective. +There are up to three fields in a menu line. +They are of the form: +.EX +[tag] (label or filename) {command or filename} +.EE +The supported tags are as follows: +.TP +.B [begin] (label for root menu) +This tells Openbox to start parsing the menu file. +This tag is required for Openbox to parse your menu file. +If it cannot find it, the system default menu is used instead. +.TP +.B [end] +This tells Openbox that it is at the end of a menu. +This can either be a submenu or the main root menu. +There must be at least one of these tags in your menu to correspond to the +required [begin] tag. +.TP +.B [exec] (label for command) {shell command} +Inserts a command item into the menu. +When you select the menu item from the menu, Openbox runs `shell command.' +.TP +.B [exit] (label for exit) +Inserts an item that shuts down and exits Openbox. +Any running programs are not closed. +.TP +.B [include] (filename) +Parses the file specified by +.I filename +and includes it with the current menu. The filename can be the full path to a + file, or it can begin with +.IR ~/ , +which will be expanded into your home directory (e.g. +.EX +[include] (~/.openbox/stylesmenu) +.EE +will include +.I /home/bhughes/.openbox/stylesmenu +in my menu). +.TP +.B [nop] (label - optional) +Insert a non-operational item into the current menu. +This can be used to help format the menu into blocks or sections +if so desired. +.B [nop] +does accept a label, but it is not required, and a blank item will be used +if none is supplied. +.TP +.B [style] (label) {filename} +This tells Openbox to insert an item that, when selected, reads the style file +named +.I filename +and applies the new textures, colors, and fonts to the current +running session. +.TP +.B [stylesdir] (directory name) +Reads all filenames (directories are ignored) from the specified directory and + creates menu items in the current menu for every filename. Openbox assumes + that each file is a valid style file. When selected by the user, Openbox +applies the selected style file to the current session. +The labels that are created in the menu are the filenames of the style files. +.TP +.B [stylesmenu] (label) {directory name} +Creates a submenu entry with +.I label +(that is also the title of the new submenu), and inserts in that submenu all +filenames in the specified directory, in the same way as the +.B [stylesdir] +command does. +.IP +.RB Both\ [stylesdir] \ and\ [stylesmenu] +commands make it possible to install style files without editing your menu file. +.TP +.B [submenu] (label) {title for menu - optional} +This tells Openbox to create and parse a new menu. +This menu is inserted as a submenu into the parent menu. +These menus are parsed recursively, so there is no limit to the number of levels +or nested submenus you can have. +The title for the new menu is optional; if none is supplied, +the new menu's title is the same as the item label. +An +.B [end] +tag is required to end the submenu. +.TP +.B [reconfig] (label) +When selected, this item rereads the current style and menu files and +applies any changes. +This is useful for creating a new style or theme, as you don't have to +constantly restart Openbox every time you save your style. +However, Openbox automagically rereads the menu whenever it changes. +.TP +.B [restart] (label) {shell command - optional} +This tells Openbox to restart. +If `shell command' is supplied, it shuts down and runs the command (which is +commonly the name of another window manager). +If the command is omitted, Openbox restarts itself. +.TP +.B [config] (label) +Inserts a Openbox generated submenu item containing numerous configuration +options concerning window placement, focus style, window moving style, etc. +.TP +.B [workspaces] (label) +This tells Openbox to insert a link to the workspaces menu directly +into your menu. +This is handy for those users who can't access the +workspace menu directly (e.g. if you don't have a 3 button mouse). +.PP +Any line that starts with a `#' is considered a comment and ignored by Openbox. +Also, in the labels/commands/filenames fields, +you can escape any character like so: +.EX +[exec] (\\(my cool\\) \\{XTERM\\}) {xterm -T \\"cool XTERM\\"} +.EE +Using `\\\\' inserts a literal back-slash into the label/command/filename field. +.SS Menu example +Now let's put together some things. +Here is a short example of a menu file: +.PP +.nf +# Openbox menu file +[begin] (Openbox @version@) + [exec] (rxvt) {rxvt -ls} + [exec] (Mozilla) {mozilla} + [exec] (The GIMP) {gimp} + [submenu] (Window Manager) + [exec] (Edit Menus) {nedit .openbox/Menu} + [submenu] (Style) {Which Style?} + [stylesdir] (~/.openbox/styles) + [stylesmenu] (Openbox Styles) {@pkgdatadir@/styles} + [end] + [config] (Config Options) + [reconfig] (Reconfigure) + [restart] (Restart) + [end] + [exit] (Log Out) +[end] +# end of menu file +.fi +.SH STYLES +Openbox enables you to use specialized files that contain +.IR X (1) +resources to specify colors, textures, and fonts and therefore +the overall look of your window borders, menus, and the toolbar. +.PP +The default installation of Openbox provides some of these style files. +Usually they are put in +.IR @pkgdatadir@/styles . +You can study or edit these files to grasp how the Openbox style mechanism +works. +You can use the +.BR [style] ", " [stylesdir] " and " [stylesmenu] +menu commands in your menu file to be able to select and change between styles +on the fly. +.PP +You can also create a directory in your home directory (usually named +.I ~/.openbox/styles) +and put your own style files there. +Of course, you may choose any name for this directory, but many downloadable +themes will rely on the name +.I styles +(following the bb.themes.org naming scheme). +.PP +To understand how the style mechanism works, you should have a little knowledge +of how X resources work. +.PP +X resources consist of a key and a value. +The key is constructed of several smaller keys (sometimes referred to as +children), delimited by a period (`.'). +Keys may also contain a star (`*') to serve as a wildcard, which means that one +line of typed text will match several keys. +This is useful for styles that are based on one or two colors. +.PP +Openbox allows you to configure its four main components: the toolbar, the +slit, the menus, and the window decorations. +.PP +The little window that shows the x-y position while dragging windows borrows +its style from the window's titlebar. +.PP +Here are some quick examples: +.EX +toolbar.clock.color: green +.EE +This sets the color resource of the toolbar clock to `green'. Another example: +.EX +menu*color: rgb:3/4/5 +.EE +This sets the color resource of the menu +.I and all of its `children' +to `rgb:3/4/5'. +(For a description of color names, see +.IR X (1).) +So this one also applies to +.IR menu.title.color " and " menu.frame.color . +And with +.EX +*font: -b&h-lucida-medium-r-normal-*-*-140-* +.EE +you set the font resource for all keys to this font name all at once. +(For information about the fonts installed on your system, you can use a program like +.IR xfontsel "(1), " gtkfontsel ", or " xlsfonts "(1).)" +.PP +Now what makes Openbox just so spectacular is its ability to render textures +on the fly. +Texture descriptions are specified in a similar way to the colors shown above +e.g.: +.ta \w'toolbar.clock.colorTo:\ 'u +.EX +toolbar.clock: Raised Gradient Diagonal Bevel1 +toolbar.clock.color: rgb:8/6/4 +toolbar.clock.colorTo: rgb:4/3/2 +.EE +Don't worry; we will explain right now! +A texture description consists of up to five fields, which are as follows: +.TP +.B Flat / Raised / Sunken +gives the component either a flat, raised, or sunken appearance. +.TP +.B Gradient / Solid +tells Openbox to draw either a solid color or a texture with gradient. +.TP +.B Horizontal / Vertical / Diagonal / Crossdiagonal / Pipecross / Elliptic / Rectangle / Pyramid +Select one of these texture types. They only work when +.B Gradient +is also specified! +.TP +.B Interlaced +tells Openbox to interlace the texture (darken every other line). +This option is most commonly used with gradiented textures, but, from Openbox +version 0.60.3 on, it also works in solid textures. +.TP +.B Bevel1 / Bevel2 +tells Openbox which type of bevel to use. +Bevel1 is the default bevel. +The shading is placed on the edge of the image. +Bevel2 is an alternative. +The shading is placed one pixel in from the edge of the image. +.PP +Instead of a texture description, the option +.B ParentRelative +is also available, which makes the component appear as a part of its parent, i.e. +totally transparent. +.PP +All gradient textures are composed of two color values: the +.IR color " and " colorTo " resources." +color represents the initial color, colorTo represents the final color of the +gradient. +When +.B Interlaced +is used in +.B Solid +mode, the +.I colorTo +resource is used to specify the interlacing color. +.PP +Well, here is the complete component list; also, all components together with +which kind of value they can contain. +Comments are preceded with an exclamation sign (!), which is also used for +comments in Openbox style c.q.

Some of the bbtools read these old 0.51 resources. +menuFont: Font +titleFont: Font +.fi +.PP +Now, this seems a long list, but, remember, when you create your own style, you +can easily set lots of keys with a single command, e.g. +.EX +.ta \w'*unfocus.textColor:\ 'u +*color: slategrey +*colorTo: darkslategrey +*unfocus.color: darkslategrey +*unfocus.colorTo: black +*textColor: white +*unfocus.textColor: lightgrey +*font: lucidasans-10 +.EE +This sets already nice defaults for many components. +.SH THE SLIT +The slit is a special Openbox window frame that can contain dockable +applications, e.g. the `bbtools' or WindowMaker's dockapps. +When applications are run in the slit, they have no window borders of their own; +instead, they are framed in the slit, and they are always visible in the current +workspace. +You can click button 3 on the edge of the slit window to get a menu to +determine its position, whether its contained applications should be grouped +horizontally or vertically and whether it should hide itself when the +mouse moves away. +.PP +Most dockable applications use the +.B -w +option to run in the slit. +For example, you could put in your +.IR ~/.xinitrc : +.EX +bbmail -w & +bbpager -w & +exec openbox +.EE +Of course, to use the slit, you must have slit support compiled in (this is +the default). +.SH RESOURCE FILE +Usually the +.I ~/.openbox/rc +resource file is created and maintained by Openbox itself. +All options from the +.B [config] +menu (from 0.60.x on), the last selected style file, your workspace names and +so on are saved automatically in this file. +However, there are some resources in it you might want to edit yourself: +.TP +.B session.menuFile: +This tells Openbox where to look for its menu file. +.TP +.B session.screen0.toolbar.widthPercent: +This determines the amount (in %) of space the toolbar will take. +Default value is: +.IR 66 . +.TP +.B session.screen0.strftimeFormat: +This adjusts the way the current time is displayed in the toolbar. +The +.IR strftime (3) +format is used. +Default value is: +.IR "%I:%M %p" . +.TP +.B session.autoRaiseDelay: +This adjusts the delay (in ms) before focused windows will raise when using the +Auto Raise option. +Default value is: +.IR 250 . +.TP +.B session.doubleClickInterval: +This adjusts the delay (in ms) between mouse clicks for Openbox to consider a double click. +Default value is: +.IR 250 . +.TP +.B session.screen0.edgeSnapThreshold: +When moving a window across your screen, Openbox is able to have it `snap' to +the edges of the screen for easy placement. +This variable tells Openbox the distance (in pixels) at which the window will +jump to the edge. +Default value is: +.IR 0 . +.TP +.B session.cacheMax: +This tells Openbox how much memory (in Kb) it may use to store cached pixmaps on +the X server. +If your machine runs short of memory, you may lower this value. +Default value is: +.IR 200 . +.TP +.B session.cacheLife: +This tells Openbox how long (in minutes) unused pixmaps may stay in the X +server's memory. +Default value is: +.IR 5 . +.TP +.B session.colorsPerChannel: +This tells Openbox how many colors to take from the X server on pseudocolor +displays. A channel would be red, green, or blue. +Openbox will allocate this variable ^ 3 colors and make them always available. +This value must be between 2 and 6. +When you run Openbox on an 8-bit display, you must set this resource to 4. +Default value is: +.IR 4. +.PP +When running Openbox in a multiple desktop environment, the +.B screen0 +key can also be +.B screen1, 2 +etc. for any appropriate desktop. +.SH ENVIRONMENT +.TP +.B HOME +Openbox uses +.RB $ HOME +to find its +.I .openbox/rc +file, and to resolve style file and directory names. +.TP +.B DISPLAY +When no other display was given on the command line, Openbox will start on the +display specified by this variable. +.SH AUTHOR and CREDITS +All of the code was initially written and maintained as Blackbox by Brad Hughes +.nh \" hyphenation off +(blackbox@alug.org) +.hy \" on again +and then Jeff Raven +.nh +(jraven@psu.edu), +.hy +and then Sean 'Shaleh' Perry +.nh +(shaleh@debian.org) +.hy +.hy +and is now maintained as Openbox by Ben Jansens +.nh +(ben@orodu.net) +.hy +with contributions and patches merged from +many individuals around the world. +.PP +The official Openbox website: +.nh +.B http://FILLMEINNOW/ +.hy +.br +The bug and feature request page, as well as current releases can be found at: +.nh +.B http://FILLMEINNOW/ +.hy +.br +Many themes and other contributions: +.nh +.B http://bb.themes.org/ +.hy +.PP +This manpage was put together by Wilbert Berendsen +.nh +(wbsoft@xs4all.nl). +.hy +Numerous other languages will be available. +.SH SEE ALSO +.IR bsetroot (1), \ bbkeys (1) \" not there, yet ;-( |
