New year, new month, new wallpaper for my Mabox Linux install.

I’m visiting a good old friend - Openbox

I use the latest mb-jgtools places.
Your top of the menu looks different.

napcok · January 5, 2025, 10:51am

Yes, it is customized by places-prepend.csv and places-append.csv.
A little advanced customization, but powerful.
I will write mini-how-to for that.

Labwc and Labwc all the time only Labwc…

But old love doesn’t rust… I fired up Openbox.
The long forgotten Mabox Control Center will finally get a refresh soon

Do you like quotes? … I like, at last, some of them.

Quoter Conky is fixed and improved

Fresh new Iso. Still warm…

napcok · January 13, 2025, 1:52pm

I added jumpapp to the ISO.
Currently configured:
F1 firefox
F2 doublecmd
F3 geany

For me it works great - those + quick terminal F12 are app I use 98% of time.
Having them binded to single key boost my productivity a lot

Check it out… and reconfigure for your needs.

I highly recommend trying this or similar setup at last for a few days to anyone.

That’s great news.
I really love that tool. Using it all the time.

Was F12 in the past Ctrl-grave for quick terminal?

I still use the old keybind…
In the past I was used to F12.
[xfce period] Quake term (official).
Should replace that to F12 again.

My jumpapp list. [Ctrl-KP_NUMBER]

firefox
geany
terminator
scrcpy
pcmanfm
mpv
stremio
pipeviewer

Labwc + Quick Terminal F12 + zellij (for terminal split) + some pipemenus

I just remembered why I love and hate - at the same time - the built-in menu in Openbox/Labwc

My own SNES Theme. I love the simple sophistication of Openbox.

ttandej · January 28, 2025, 12:11am

Is there a topic post where we could share themes? would you share the blob file? Is that the way to package a whole theme?

napcok · January 28, 2025, 1:06pm

Hello @ttandej and welcome to the forum

Unfortunately, there is no good way to share a full desktop theme in Mabox yet.
It is planned with the release of Colorizer 1.0, I am working on it, but there are still a few pieces missing.

Bueno, esto refleja mi hobby principal, el segundo es la PC.
Si alguien quiere saber más, que chifle.

Well, this reflects my main hobby, the second one is the PC.
If anyone wants to know more, just whistle.
