Openbox

In Unix computing, Openbox is a free window manager for the X Window System, licensed under the GNU General Public License. Openbox was originally derived from Blackbox 0.65.0, but has been totally rewritten in the C programming language and, since version 3.0, is not based upon any code from Blackbox. It is designed to be small and fast. Though this may sacrifice some features present in other window managers, such as menu icons and round window borders, it does support many other features, such as menus by which the user can control applications or which display various dynamic information. Openbox is fully ICCCM- and EWMH-compliant.

Using Openbox

Openbox allows you to have a right-click menu on the desktop, and allows you configure the way your windows are managed. When a window is minimized it becomes invisable. The only way to bring it up again is to use Alt+Tab, or the Desktop menu, accessable from the right-click menu. That's about all. Most people extend Openbox with other small programs that add icons, taskbars, launchers, eyecandy and such.

Configuration

There are only two config files. They are located in ~/.config/openbox. they are menu.xml and rc.xml. If you don't want to edit them by hand, you can do most of the configuration with an easy-to-use tool called obconf
