Negative@Sky Aisling: To start Openbox Try exiting to prompt, then type "startx openbox" (without quotes). I think that may do the trick for you. Let me know.
Hmm... or maybe try "xwin openbox"...I think?
YES! Beautiful!You may be interested in FbBox which features fbpanel and the openbox window manager in a relatively small pet that integrates with most modern Woof-built Puppies, including Precise 5.7.1.

You are welcome Sky Aisling.
From the Ubuntu Universe repository you can download a comprehensive package of almost 100 openbox themes, including the Anchos theme.
After downloading the deb package below, you can extract with the Xarchive utility (available in the Puppy menu), and then place the Anchos folder in /usr/share/themes.

Enjoy! Smile
Couldn't get this to work 'cause something keeps overwriting the root-menu or menu.xml. Is there a way around it? I loved having this when I ran fluxbox and wanna get it working here...stu90 wrote:Here is a mini guide and the scripts needed to add a pipe menu to openbox that will display all .jpg and .png images in a directory as a menu entry and then apply which ever is selected as a desktop wallpaper.

If you open this script as text near the top you will see
setwalle script:
This is the script that sets the background wallpaper - move this to /usr/bin
wallp.sh script:
This is the script that generates the openbox pipe menu - move this to /etc/xdg/openbox/scripts
(if you don't have a scripts directory there create one then put wallp.sh inside it.)
If you open this script as text near the top is:
WALLDIR="/usr/share/backgrounds"
This is the directory the script looks in for wallpapers - if your wallpapers are stored in a different directory delete the path between to two quote marks and enter the path to you own wallpaper directory.
WALLDIR="/path/to/my/wallpapers"
This next part can be quite tricky as we now need to add to the main openbox menu the new wallpaper pipe menu./etc/xdg/openbox/menu_top.xmlCode: Select all
<menu execute="/etc/xdg/openbox/scripts/wallp.sh" id="wallp-menu" label="Wallpapers"/>
/etc/xdg/openbox/menu_bottom.xml
/etc/xdg/openbox/menu.xml
These are the three files you could add the new pipe menu to - i have added mine to /etc/xdg/openbox/menu_top.xml
Navigate to this file and open as text - then paste the code above on the line above this one:
<menu id="root-menu" label="Puppy Linux">
Now save the file and open a terminal window and enter the command fixmenus
If all has gone well you should now have a new menu that lists all your wallpapers and when you click on one it should be applied as you desktop wallpaper.
Code: Select all
[ `which obmenu-refresh` ] && obmenu-refresh
I got it running by searching rpm pbone site for each library, downloading the rpm that it recomends (make sure it is the version you need, either 64 bit or i586 or whatever), unpack it then copy the needed libraries (usually it's two, a symlink and a library file) to /usr/lib. Yeah, on mine there were like four missing libraries. Now it runs just fine.johnywhy wrote:hi, i'm running FbBox-2.0_32Bit.pet on top of TahrPup. Generally seems to work well. Thx for that!
But, then i installed pcmanfm_1.2.0-1_i386.deb , and cannot get it to run.
It seemed to install ok, and it's available in the "Run" box, but nothing runs when i launch it.
i checked its dependencies with ListDD-Packages, and saw it's missing libfm and libfmgtk. So i installed the closest i could find in package manager, but got a whole bunch of failed downloads. Plz see screenshots. (i recently updated my repositories)
Any suggestions for getting PCManFM running on FbBox?
thx!
Got it to go.stu90 wrote:Here is a mini guide and the scripts needed to add a pipe menu to openbox that will display all .jpg and .png images in a directory as a menu entry and then apply which ever is selected as a desktop wallpaper.
