Openbox and 1-pixel borders

Is there a way to make windows in Openbox have only a 1-pixel border (no window decorations) without having to toggle the decorations on every window?
I'm hoping there is a theme or the ability to modify a theme to do this.

it's pretty easy to remove decorations from all applications with your rc.xml: http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/He … windows.3F.

One Pixel Borders Print Fine But Only Display At Magnification

I've looked around at some other posts on image borders and haven't seen any posts about image borders that print fine but do not predictably display in the PDF. For example, I add one-pixel borders to PNG images I create in SnagIt. I then use FrameMaker (8 and 11) to generate PDFs. When I view the PDFs in Acrobat Standard or Adobe Reader, the various sides of the rectangular border appear differently (some missing, some fat, some thin) until I magnify way over 100 %.
My document reviewers are routinely telling me I've neglected to add the 1 px border to every side if the images, but they are there--just only visible when the document is printed or when it's enlarged on the screen.
Are there any tricks for getting Adobe Acrobat/Reader to display these 1 px borders consistenly on screen? I should mention that this is also the case if I generate PDFs from MadCap Flare.

By all means, blog. But I'm wondering if something along the lines of a petition / open letter format might be more effective in affecting the corporate decision-making process. Those of us affected should discuss and, if possible, get help on who and how to get this addressed. That's why I've asked for advice on who the relevant person is who I should contact. If you've ever worked in a bureaucracy you know that sometimes talking to the right person can save a lot of time and trouble.
BTW, if the Apple moderators are following this thread, I'd be pleased to know what your thoughts are on this issue. This problem seems fairly common, but only among users of the 1.67 iteration of the 17" PB (as far as I know). We are users who invested a lot of money in the best (& most expensive) mobile hardware that Apple had to offer at the time of purchase. We're probably faithful customers who, in time, will spend a lot more money on Apple hardware in the future. Why squander goodwill over a matter like this?
It just seems to make sense that Apple would institute a limited recall to fix this known and obvious fault. It's a good idea for us and for them.

Openbox and Compton

Over the past few days I have been working on a custom desktop built around Openbox and Compton. I have come up with two somewhat interrelated questions regarding my setup.
What is the class_g or name of the window that shows up when you change workspaces in Openbox? (I have tried using xprop to identify it, but it returns nothing.)
I have three applications (Conky, tint2, and urxvt) that I want to have a blurred background. Using compton.conf, how do I exclude all other windows from having a blurred background?

Ad. 1. I think you would have to take a look at the source code to find that out.
Ad. 2. I speculate here*, try something like this:
blur-background-exclude = [ "window_type = '*'", "window_type = '*', "window_type = '*', "window_type = '*'];
blur-background = [ "window_type = 'menu'", "window_type = 'utility'", "window_type = 'splash'", "window_type = 'dialog'", "class_g = 'Conky'",
"class_g = 'tint2'", "class_g = 'urxvt'" ];
Edit: *I had no errors running something similar, but did not test thoroughly.

Compton, Openbox and Catalyst 14

Hi.
I'm new with Arch Linux, Openbox and Compton, so...
I install compton and after that ATI driver... when I do that...the screen freeze and I can't see what I type/click, but if I kill the process (CTRL+ATL+F2, ps aux, kill -9...), everything is back again.
I use the Vi0L0's catalyst, and the compton.conf you can see below.

I install that (from the arch wiki):
Once you have added some Catalyst repository, update pacman's database and install these packages (see #Tools for more information):
- catalyst-hook
- catalyst-utils
- catalyst-libgl
- opencl-catalyst - optional, needed for OpenCL support
- lib32-catalyst-utils - optional, needed for 32-bit OpenGL support on 64-bit systems
- lib32-catalyst-libgl - optional, needed for 32-bit OpenGL support on 64-bit systems
- lib32-opencl-catalyst - optional, needed for 32-bit OpenCL support on 64-bit systems
So... after that I get:
- Videos in browser (firefox/chrome/chromium) freeze in fullscreen
- Resize windows is slowly
- Teamviewer stop working
- Record screen stop working
- Sometimes I can't see what I'm typing... but after kill compton, everything appears
I try using default compton.conf and "no" compton.conf... same problem.
Sorry for my english

Mac wont play online videos and photobooth is pink and green pixels?

Recently my MacBook Pro has been very slow and has now decided not to play videos on E.g Youtube. I thought it was just the internet playing up, but going to use PhotoBooth the camera screen is all pink and green pixels?? Overall my mac is very slow and doesnt play video/photobooth. Help please!!!

The same problem i have too, I see green pixels on videos and PhotoBooth.

Openbox and NetworkManager issue

I've just installed a fresh copy of arch, and then also openbox + pypanel. because I have problem with setting up my wireless connection through wpa_supplicant I have decided to replace it with a network manager applet (like the one in ubuntu). I've visited this site and did as following:
1. added in ~/.xinitrc
pypanel&
exec openbox
(I'm using startx)
2. installed
pacman -S hicolor-icon-theme gnome-icon-theme
(because I use WM as stand-alone)
3. as next
pacman -S cnetworkmanager
4. then edited rc.conf
DAEMONS=( ... !network hal networkmanager..).
I've tried to run the command /etc/rc.d/networkmanager start as a root and a normal user - but both gave me [FAILD].
I'm trying to build very minimalistic system and making almost everything manual but I would like to have the applet manager starting with my pypanel or tint2 automatically (problems with wpa_supplicant and hidden SSID). I would like to achieve such a thing
EDIT: I would like also to get the speaker-icon on my panel.

Oh, I'm sorry. I see what is happening here. You installed cnetworkmanager, which is a command-line only version of networkmanager. Uninstall that and then install network-manager-applet.
pacman -Rsn cnetworkmanager
pacman -S network-manager-applet
Then, in ~/.xinitrc do this:
pypanel&
nm-applet&
exec openbox
As for the volume, you should install volwheel from the AUR and also add that to your .xinitrc.
A few suggestions:
Instead of using .xinitrc, openbox has its own autostart file in ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh. Edit that file to have pypanel&, nm-applet&, etc. Then do:
chmod +x ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh
Then change your ~.xinitrc to this:
exec ck-launch-session openbox-session
The ck-launch-session will allow you to shutdown, reboot, etc from inside openbox and the openbox-session command makes openbox run the autostart.sh script.
I'll also suggest using Nitrogen or feh to set your wallpaper. They are in the wiki.

I have a sequence shot on the 550d/rebel T2i, I converted it to prores 422 and edited in fcp. What is the best export that i can do to preserve quality and prevent pixelation.

i have a sequence shot on the 550d/rebel T2i, I converted it to prores 422 in MPEG Streamclip and edited in fcp. What is the best export that i can do to preserve quality and prevent pixelation. Rite now, i have been just clicking on the export to quicktime function, but the quality of the footage is completely reduced and colours look desaturated and there is pixellation compared to the original camera footage. Also is there anyway i can render and export the sequence using the original footage (like an online edit or something). Also is there anyway to upgrade the final quality. I have Compressor, Dvd Studio pro, Motion, Color and Cinema tools, i dnt know if they are of any use to me and have no idea how to use hem or what they are for also.

>What is the best export that i can do to preserve quality and prevent pixelation
The best way to export is entirely dependent on what you plan to do with the exported video. For example, if you plan to go to DVD, the export process is different than if you plan for web delivery or for iPhone viewing. Compressor has presets for most final delivery formats ... start with those.
>is there anyway i can render and export the sequence using the original footage
Yes. In FCP, go to File-Export->QuickTime Movie. Check the box to make the movie Self-Contained and use Current Settings. Do NOT "Recompress All Frames." The resulting self-contained movie will play on any Mac that has the needed audio and video codecs installed.
>is there anyway to upgrade the final quality
No and maybe. While you technically cannot improve quality over the original, you can possibly 'enhance' the aesthetic quality of the video using various filters in FCP or Color.

Why is text, icons and pictures pixelated on my retina macbook?

I have a late 2012 retina macbook pro 15.4 inch. I have the nvidia 650m 1gb card. all mac icons and webpages look great except some icons, when I open a file and I am browsing for the icons for pictures, txt files or video are pixelated and of poor quality.
Like if i use "open" on photoshop and I am browsing for photos it has every thumbnail and icon pixelated, and it does this everywhere, not just photoshop.
Also in photo shop, text and signatures for my photography business are all pixelated even the actual picture until i zooom in.
What is going on?

If restarting your computer does not clear things up....
Call AppleCare. You are still under warranty.

Get DirectX version and VGA Pixel Shader Model Version in C#

Can't install Openbox and Fluxbox???

I just installed Arch on a test machine. I'm using Openbox as my WM.
I was planning on testing fluxbox-devel, but pacman says:
:: fluxbox conflicts with openbox. Remove openbox? [Y/n]
I do not want to uninstall openbox. Why is this??
I'd like to use openbox as my main WM and just test fluxbox.
Why isn't this possible?
Debian had no trouble having both installed...

I use openbox exclusively and have not used Flux for a very long time, but I think the problem here is a PKGBUILD that has a conflict that no longer is valid. Since Openbox3 was completely rewritten with no flux code, there should be no more conflicts (previously, openbox and flux would use the same files, etc.).
I would suggest either altering the PKGBUILD yourself and recompiling it, or (what I would do) send a message to the package maintainer to see if the fluxbox conflict can be removed, if it is not needed (which I don't think it does).

Why does my screen freeze and get pixelated

Hey guys, so sometimes when I'm working on my macbook pro, i'll jump through the taps on Google Chrome and my screen will freeze for a split second and become pixelated. But the screen will stay with the pixels until i scroll the page up and down or do something to refresh my screen. Here is a picture of how it looks.

Run the hardware test that came with the Mac:

[SOLVED] Openbox and tint2 - adding another panel/ taskbar...

Hi, so I'm fairly new and usually don't have any questions to ask because I can always find someone who's asked them before
However, this time, I don't know if I'm not searching the correct way or something, but I just can't find it - and it's a pretty simple thing.
I have Openbox and my panel is tint2. All very nice, but I was wondering if I can add another panel (that is - I want two tint2 panels). I'm almost sure that's possible due to the way the theming config is organized but I can't find how :s
So if someone knows or can direct me to the right thread, I'd appreciate it. Thanks

You need two different config files. See this thread for hints:

Yeah. It is called System Status.
Check out this application on the App Store:
System Status - device activity monitor (battery level, disk usage, file stats, CPU load, network details, memory info, process list, work time, charge monitoring, connection overview, routing table, os data, hw report, console log, netstat information)

Openbox and window focusing

I'm having some problem with Openbox not focusing the windows as it should, if someone post a link on IRC and I click it in XChat then Firefox will load the url and will be moved to front just like it should. However the focus isn't shifted from XChat to Firefox, so any keyboard input will still be sent to XChat which is quite annoying if I want to close the tab (CTRL+W) as it will close the currently active tab in XChat instead of Firefox. Anyone have any idea what the problem could be?
In ObConf I have the option "Focus new windows when they appear" checked, however, my Firefox is always running so it's not a new window and thus this one should be irreleveant.
Versions (in case it should matter):
$ pacman -Q firefox xchat openbox
firefox 2.0.0.7-1
xchat 2.8.4-1
openbox 3.4.4-1

afaik there is a small script which "translates" existing themes automatically to xml.
ps: but i´m not finding it right now...

I was wondering. would it be possable to get AWN working with openbox and looking like that. and if so, how. along with the transparency and menu, would you have to use XDG to get the programs listed. or does AWN read installed packages. like would you need a menu system
