Openbox+Extras is now called OpenboxPlus

New features:

New Lxpanel setup with a dock-like top panel

The Tint2 panel now has a show desktop button to minimize all windows (thanks to nilsonmorales), it is horizontal but the vertical position is available in "Tint2 configuration" on the "Desktop" category

ROX bookmarks available in the top right-click menu: open ROX-filer in the desired directory, click the "bookmarks" button and "add new bookmark", then the directory will appear in the right-click menu for quick access (thanks to WillM)

Wider selection of GTK themes thanks to the addition of GTK engines

Crunchy and Ambience-Radiance themes for Openbox and GTK available as extra goodies (require the GTK engines present in the main gtk-theme-collection.pet)

DOWNLOADS
OpenboxPlus main PET, 3.2 MB
Mouse pointer themes, 5.3 MB
Gnome icon pack for the Lxpanel menu, 6 MB
GTK theme collection, 2.6 MB
Crunchy Openbox & GTK themes, 577 K
Ambiance-Radiance Openbox & GTK themes, 2.4 MB
For Spanish speakers: PET para traducir a español el menú superior e inferior de clic derecho, 1 K

KNOWN ISSUES
- Tint2 hasn't got a right-click function to close windows.
- Tint2 doesn't work for Wary/Racy, Lxpanel is recommended choice for these.
- The icon theme for the Lxpanel dock changes only after restarting X, Music and Shutdown icons are always the same to solve the abscence of equivalent icons in some icon sets.
- The Gnome icon theme for the Lxpanel menu needs some improvements, it won't set in all categories. Actually, I'd like to modify the Lxpanel menu so that it shows categories and entries just like in JWM menu, any information on this is highly appreciated.

Hi, just checking on the gnome icon pack. It isn't highlighted to download. Thanks, Rob

IIRC with OpenBox you always have to right-click on the desktop to get to the Menu. I'm one of those weird people who actually really like a Windblows-style arrangement of being able to open the Menu from a tray button, and a context menu by right-clicking on anything. It's a serious peeve of mine to not have a Menu button in the tray.

So does OpenBoxPlus allow you to have a Menu in your tray? If it does I might check it out. I do like the look. (Is there a DeepThought-style orange/black theme for it as well? That would make it even better.)

Nice! One more question before I start downloading.

Is there an English version for the Americans like me who aren't even perfectly fluent in our own language? I don't like being like that, but it's not likely to change any time soon... I can say I know enough Spanish to start and end a conversation, but my few words (and poor pronunciation) of French will get me punched in the face very quickly I think. LOL.

Oh, sorry...

Embarassed

I had assumed that because your image had Spanish text in it, that the PETs might only support Spanish. I've seen such things before.
