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.

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_]

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
