Starting
~/.xinitrc exec openbox-session
Configuration files
Openbox's configuration files are well commented. Please read the files and edit them.
- menu.xml
- Openbox doesn't have panels natively. Openbox's menu is opened by a right click as default. You can customize this menu by editing ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml.
- rc.xml
- You can customize Openbox's key-bindings and mouse-bindings by editing ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml.

Because Openbox is XDG (freedesktop.org) compliant, it also supports /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop and ~/.config/autostart/*.desktop. You can avoid running the command twice to add "NotShowIn=OPENBOX;" in the desktop file (case sensitive). More Information is avalable at http://standards.freedesktop.org/autostart-spec/autostart-spec-latest.html
- environment
- You can set environment variables by editing ~/.config/openbox/environment.
Customizing Tools
- x11-misc/obconf
- GTK+-based configuration frontend
- x11-misc/obmenu
- a frontend to edit menu.xml
- x11-misc/obmenu-generator
- x11-misc/openbox-menu
Dock apps
Openbox is compatible with Window Maker's dock applications such as x11-misc/stalonetray, x11-plugins/wmclock, etc. (Window Maker is a window manager.) You can install them and add them to the autostart file.
