Openbox, undecorated windows by default.

I'd like to set my windows in Openbox undecorated by default: after all the title is visible in the programs bar and the menu is reachable with alt+space... So what is the title bar for?
So, do you know how to set the windows undecorated by default?
Thanks

I think the rules here state that you should not necro-bump.

After you undecorate openbox windows.. (lets just say urxvt only for now) with <decor>no</decor> in your rc.xml, What needs to be done in order to retain use of mouse dragging etc.. ?
for example, How would I set a rule so I can press ctrl + click anywhere on the undecorated terminal and drag it?
Nevertheless, Openbox has plenty of documentation for configuration.

When I click on any Bookmark, how do I set it to open in a new window by default?

Right clicking an icon in the Bookmarks Toolbar provides a drop down menu. That menu has "Open" as the Default and "Open in a New Window" as the second choice. I'd like to make "Open in a New Window" the Default. In other words, I'd like to be able to click on a Bookmark icon and open a new window. Is there a line in 'about:config' that I can change to accomplish this?

Go to Tools->Options->Apps
Here you should see two columns: Content Type on the left, Actions on the right.
Find and select excel spreadsheet or any other content type in the left column. There should be a corresponding action in the right column. What is it? You can use the drop-down list to select the option you want:
Always Ask - Firefox will ask each time: What do you want to do with this file?
Save file - Firefox will save this file to your computer
Use - Firefox will give this file to the program to open it
In case of saving, Firefox will either prompt you every time where you want the file to be saved, or save it to the default location. It depends on the preference in
Tools->Options->General->Download

How can I use terminal to make links open in same window the default behaviour, as it was in Safari 5.0, How can I use terminal to make links open in same window the default behaviour, as it was in Safari 5.0

In Lion, the default of pressing a link on a web page, is to open the page in a new tab. In itself, I do like this because this is what I did for 19 out of any 20 links, which I command+clicked in previous Safari versions.
However, there is a snag to this behaviour. Most (all?) secure site do not like links to be opened in a new tab. For example, when I am doing Web banking, The the linked page doesn’t open in new tab. Rather I get a page telling me my login session is expired. Probably a security measure instituted by my bank.
I since found out, that a command-click opens lings in the same window. Theoretically that solves the problem, if I would think about this all the time. I don't. Old habits die slowly.
Is there a terminal command to make links open in same window the default behaviour, as it was in Safari 5.0.

Hi Eric,
I got it figured out today, basically you have to load the Parallel Flash Loader first into FPGA ram. It is a special .sof file (pfl_epXXXX.sof) based on your FPGA. Code is actually pretty straight forward, using the Sys Exec VI. Use the windows based programmer to generate the .cdf file that identifies your FPGA, attached Flash and .pof file .
Syntax was odd going into Sys Exec. Note the extra "C" in in front of the "quartus_prm.exe" I have no idea why that was needed, but I was getting an error until I just happened to put it in there (Blind Luck :-))
I used a 2 element array going into a four loop
cmd /cquartus_pgm.exe -c USB-BLASTER -m JTAG -o P;pfl_epXXXX.sof
cmd /cquartus_pgm.exe -c USB-BLASTER -m JTAG S_FPGA.cdf
Defining the working director C:\altera\12.1sp1\qprogrammer\bin
And added match string with "Successfully performed operation" on the output in the loop to make sure everything loaded correctly then adding the array to give me a overall P/F
To anyone doing this same thing Altera's documentation is poor to say the least. It took most of a week to figure this out Not allowed to upload code, so anyone wanting details just post here and I will try to help. This was painful, with lots of lessons learned.
Thanks for the interest though

Mail not loading a Viewer Window by default.

My question is how do I set Mail so that it does open the viewer window by default? I am running Mail 8.0 on a 2014 iMac running Yosemite.
I have tried to locate .plist files (although that is close to the edge of my expertise) and there is no "Mail" folder in Hard Drive/Library
Any advice would be awesome!

Can I set Firefox as my windows 7 default mail client?

I've already set Firefox's mailto/send etc email program to Gmail, but I want to also set the Windows 7 default mail client to use FireFox (which knows to use gmail). For example, when in Windows Photo Viewer I click "email" and then "attach" I get an error: "Either there is no default e-mail client, or the current client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default email client" What is the equivalent way to run FireFox and set it as the default Windows 7 client? I want my OS default e-mail to open Firefox and then use the e-mail settings already setup in FireFox.
== For example, when in Windows Photo Viewer I click "email" and then "attach"

No you cannot because Firefox is not a email client. [http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ SeaMonkey] has a built in email client that you can use

How to make Detailed Navigation Window by default open?

Hi,
Is there any way to set the Detailed Navigation Window by default to open?
I have gone through different posts but I could not get a clear way to do this.If some body can hint me I would be very much thankful.
Thanks & Regards
Mrutyunjay

Hi,
do you mean the navigation panel on the left side? If so find the frameworkpage you are using. Open, goto InnerDesktop. Select properties for this page. Here find a property <i>"Initial state of navigation panel"</i> - set to <b>open</b>.
Hope this helps,

Undecorated Windows under Java 1.3

Does someone knows if it's possible to create an undecorated window (without Title bar, buttons and borders) with SDK 1.3, using Swing ?
Thanks.

You can use JWindow... but you then have to implement
everything on your own. Dragging, etc.Using JWindow raises me another problem :
Inside the JWindow I use a JTextField. When this JTextField loses the focus (clicking out him), it's not possible to recover it.
Do you know a solution for that ?
Thank you.

Is there a way I can make Messages pop up chats in new windows by default like iChat used to ?

Is there a way I can make Messages pop up chats in new windows by default like iChat used to ? I really hate the new way all of my chats are in one window and I have to manually open them in a new window. I miss having them pop up in a new window as people contact me.

Hi,
The Chats can be double clicked off the Messages window into a separate window and then the Messages window closed.
What can't be done is to start the chats in new windows.
It also pays not to use th DOCK icon to "read" new messages when the DOCK badge shows as this reopens the Mesages main window.

Detect "touch start" and "touch end" event in windows phone default browser.

Hi,
We have a BIG problem, because in all browsers we can detect the "touch start" event and "touch end" event. For iOS, firefox, internet Explorer, safari, Android work well. But in the windows phone default browser the "touch end"
doesn't work.
Do you know what we can do ?
Thanks.

Hi gogogate,
>>But in the windows phone default browser the "touch end" doesn't work
There is no simply way to achieve this, in my experience, I would recommend that you can handle touch event using JavaScript and retrieve information you need form the webpage using the window.external.notify(string) function:

Openbox - activate window demanding attention / focus stealing ?

Hi there,
I'm willing to switch to Openbox (instead of Kwin) in KDE, however I'm addicted to medium level of focus stealing prevention policy and "Activate window demanding attention" shortcut. AFAIK Openbox doesn't have multiple focus stealing policy levels, neither "activate..." ability.
Is there any way to achieve that? Some scripting, prayers, anything? I'd really like to get back to Openbox, it's so fast and snappy, but not without this feature.

Yes, is does what is says: do not give focus to new windows. If you start, for example, a terminal, then it will not become in focus unless you explicitly click in window (usability problem, but I can live with it). However it does not prevent focus stealing, any app can bring itself in focus at any time without my interaction. Steps to reproduce the problem:
Set <focusNew>no</focusNew>
Start any slow app. that requests focus when it is initialized (eg. NetBeans, OpenOffice, Matlab etc.)
Before the app. is fully started, switch to your browser window -> Quick post -> textarea (right under in this page).
Type any text for 3-10 seconds while the app in step 2 was starting. At some point the app will be initialized and will bring itself into focus forcefully, so everything you type will be sent to that app (remember, you was typing into a webrowser -> textarea).
Enjoy Matlab bitching over unknown command "rea)." OpenOffice starting automatic recovery because you hit space accepting default "Yes, start recovery". Netbeans shutting down because you hit ctrl+w to close current tab in Firefox.
Focus stealing is annoying by itself. No application has a right to bring itself in focus, except: if it is a child window of the app currently being in focus or if that app was started by the app currently in focus. In all other cases the window must stay minimized even if it is an system prompt asking for password (OK, system messages are tolerable... but not OpenOffice/Matlab or any other crappy app =\ ).

[solved] openbox: "ghost" window with bbpager

I don't really know where to report this bug as it was working fine a few days ago, so I'm just going to check if I'm the only one having problems with bbpager.
Basically, when I'm using bbpager outside of the dock/slit, everything's fine.
But when using bbpager -w, if I close everything, the last window still appears in the pager:
impossible to move it, but it's still there.
Once I open a new window, everything's working again, the "ghost" window dissapear.
Strange thing is, if I run a 2nd instance of bbpager without the "withdrawn" option, the one in the dock behaves correctly: the docked bbpager stop drawing the remaining window.
I tried with the default config files for both openbox and bbpager with no luck.
Problem is I have no idea how to check what's wrong with it, and unable to find another pager with autohiding feature (which is why I put bbpager in the dock).
Does someone has the same issue, or any idea of what I could do to solve this problem?
Thanks!
This is unrelated and solved:
Edit:
Just realised something else:
I'm using "windows" + Tab as a "Super alt-Tab", ie switching between tasks on all desktops, and not just the current one.
If I'm on a desktop with no window open, no problem, I just choose the window I want and I'm transfered to the correct desktop.
Problem is once the window gets focus, windows tab isn't working anymore: I can choose another window (I see the icons, can move between them, see the border...), but I'm not transfered to it.
It doesn't do a thing.
But if I do "show desktop" first, no problem, it's working again...
Edit2: AAAAaaaAAARRGGH! downgraded to openbox 3.4.7 fixed the "windows + Tab" issue, but not the bbpager one!!!
I'm completely clueless.
Edit3:
Just reinstalled openbox 4.3.8.
Did it with Pacman -Rns openbox + rm -r ~/.config/openbox, then pacman -S + cp /etc/xdg/openbox ~/.config , just to be sure.
Same issue with "windows tab", but... It's working with firefox, I don't know why!
I can switch between different firefox windows, even if they're on different desktops!

Solved the openbox issues: installing openbox-git and modifying the new default rc.xml manually (don't use obkey as it's not working well with openbox 4.3.8), everything is working as expected.
Still, I still have the bbpager issue...
Edit:hmmm.
No idea why, but after a pacman -Scc and a new install of bbpager, no ghost window anymore...
Solved.

Terminal.app won't return window to default size with open tab

I regularly have multiple Terminal.app windows open with multiple tabs open in them. If I have a window open with no tabs, I can drag scale the window to whatever size is convenient for me at the moment, then use the Window > Return to Default Size function to make it go back to my default size configured in the app preferences.
The problem comes when I have a window open that is already scaled to a different size and I open a tab. This resets the default size to whatever size the window was when the tab was opened. The result is that if I use the Window > Return to Default Size function, it does nothing, unless the window has been scaled again, then it resets the window size to what it was when the tab was opened, not the default size configured in my preferences.
Is this a feature, or a bug? Is there a way I can make it retain the default size dimensions even when I've opened a tab?

I would solve the problem by resizing after closing the added tab. However, your inquiry is really beyond my abilities. Questions do get answered in these forums; sometimes not, in which case resorting to Apple Support _may_ resolve the issue. Have you checked out posting under "Mac OS X Technologies"? I believe there are Unix sections to that forum. Good luck.

Openbox, undecorated windows by default.
