Openbox and borders

Hey guys, I am trying to set windows up in Openbox to have borders without decorations - I cant seem to get it to work though. The settings I've adjusted suggest it should work but for some reason the borders still dont work without decor.
I've set up urxvt to start without decorations, and thats fine. The <keepborder> option in rc.xml is set to "yes".
Is there something else I'm missing?
Also for some reason when I set firefox in the applications section of rc.xml to start without decor it still loads them, is there a secific problem with firefox that prevents this option from working? All the other applications load without decor

Works fine here, the only thing that is (slightly) annoying me is that the windows leave a small space on the bottom of the screen, more or less of the size the titlebar used to be.
The most relevant parts in my rc.xml:
<keepBorder>yes</keepBorder>
<animateIconify>no</animateIconify>
<font place="ActiveWindow">
<name>Source Sans Pro</name>
<size>1</size>

<weight>Bold</weight>

<slant>Normal</slant>

</font>
<font place="InactiveWindow">
<name>Source Sans Pro</name>
<size>1</size>

<weight>Normal</weight>

<slant>Normal</slant>

</font>
<application type="normal">
<decor>no</decor>
</application>
<application type="dialog">
<decor>no</decor>
</application>

[SOLVED] openbox window borders and alt tab

There are two (atleast) things i'd like to fix in openbox (and lxde). I haven't found any info on it.
1) Window borders are only one pixel. It's hard to resize windows and very hard with touchpad. I have room for it on a 1400x1050 resolution. On kde I have 6 pixels. How can I widen the borders?
2) Alt + tab cycles through the windows on the current desktop only. I would like it to cycle through all windows on all desktops. I know I can middleclick on the background, but I'd like to alt tab too. How do I do that?

For 2 : Add this to your keybindings in rc.xml
<keybind key="W-Tab">
<action name="NextWindow">
<allDesktops>yes</allDesktops>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="W-S-Tab">
<action name="PreviousWindow">
<allDesktops>yes</allDesktops>
</action>
</keybind>
This will use the Super+Tab and Super+Shift+Tab to move between windows across all desktops. You can still use Alt+Tab and Alt+Shift+Tab to move between windows within the same desktop

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.
How can I fix that, for enable transparency, shadow and of course: Steam.

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

I cannot see the background color and borders when exporting

I created a 10 page document with a background color and borders around the images (I am usiong InDesign 5.5), when I export it to PDF I only see white pages with my images, what am I doing wrong?

I suspected as much. [Paper] is the absence of ink -- it means don't put anything here and let the paper stock show through and in the PDF it is essentially transparent ( the PDF only shows a white background to keep you from seeing the insides of the monitor -- well not really, but Acrobat doesn't dispaly transparency with grid the way Photshop does). The ability to edit the swatch is a convenience to make it easier for you to visualize what your design will look like on colored stock.
If you want a colored background you either need to print on colored stock, or you need to print the color in the background by creating a frame and filling it with the color of your choice. I doubt you will be printing on a dark brown, especially since there are areas of white in your design, and the only way you get white is by leaving the paper blank iin those areas, or using an opaque white ink, which is bothexpensive and not very practical in photos, especially over a dark color.

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.

Problems with margins and borders in a fluid grid layout

When I create a page using the built-in fluid brid layout option in Dreamweaver CC, I have problems adding margins and borders. to the elements I've added to the page.
Is there a method to prevent the above occurring?

Hi Ken
I'm sizing each element to specific grid sizes and, working in the "show fluid grid layout guides" view am aligning the second element alongside the first by click the "up" arrow. e.g.:
I'm using a 24 grid layout (mainly because I thought it would allow more flexibility when working on two or three column layouts)
I have the first element 10 grids wide (41.348% wide) and the second element 14 grids wide (56.9% wide)
I've populated the first element with text including an h2, h3 and p element
In the second element I've inserted an EasyRotator slideshow
The third element is below the first containing text . That is also 10 grids wide
The fourth element also contains text and is 9 grids wide and has margins of left = 8% and right = 7% so that it appears below the gallery and it has a border around it.
The problem occors when I try to place a border around the element containing the EasyRotator. When I do, it become too large and drops below the first element.
How can I control this problem?
Thanks in anticipation.
David
P.S. Can you recomment any tutorials that provide info on the above.
I'm subscribed to Lynda.com, have searched adobe TV and looked at all the tutorials that are provided through Dreamweaver CC Help.
Nowhere can I find the above subject covered.
I'd like to find a tutorial which also provides exercise files to work with if possible.

Photoshop Express 3.0 - Information on in app purchases, looks and borders

Thank you for using Photoshop Express. In our latest 3.0 version, we revamped the rendering engine in order to deliver great new effects, improved editing controls and a streamlined user experience. That means some things you were familiar with may not be available in this version.
In-app purchases have been renamedThe “Effects Pack” that you previously purchased has been renamed "Premium Looks Pack". You still have access to this Pack.
The “Camera Pack”, which provided Noise Reduction, is now called "Noise" and can be found in the Corrections slider menu.
Restoring in-app purchases. You do not have to initiate a re-purchase.
If you've previously purchased either of the packs above, they are still available to you by restoring your purchase, which is accessed in Settings.
Other changesPrevious Effects and Borders have been replaced with Looks, Premium Looks, and Borders. Some of the new looks replicate many of the most popular effects. We will be adding new borders, looks and sharpen controls in future releases.
We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration for future releases. We value you as a customer, and hope you like the new borders and looks and continue to enjoy using Photoshop Express.

There was a big change in Photoshop Express 3.0 in the rendering engine. Many items that users accessed often were incorporated in the new release before it went out, but there are other features that had to be implemented differently due to the new rendering engine. Many of these items are on a roadmap for future versions. There are yet others that are more difficult to implement and require more research as to how they would be added. We have a survey out to offer users a way to give input as to which features they are most interested in. (https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/DYGG2RH ) Feel free to give your input here.
New versions will be released shortly that will include the Sharpen tool and some of the features you have been requesting. We are also working on adding several additional looks and many symmetrical borders, similar to those you used in previous versions. These features will be added in the near future. We appreciate your patience.
For those who wish to restore an old version of Photoshop Express:
Please see the FAQ: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1298203
Pattie
Also, please see this post by the Photoshop Express product manager:
Hi there,
I am sorry many of you are frustrated with the new version. We made the choice to move forward with a new rendering engine which gives us significantly improved editing and capabilities. Unfortunately, that hindered us from being capable of some previous effects and borders. This decision was driven by low usage numbers on the effects we were no longer capable of, which I apologize affected your workflows. We hope you like the premium looks that we developed which are free to you if you restore your purchases (settings menu). We also took the step to create brand new borders, which we will continue to add to as we go along. Again, I apologize that the features you used previously are no longer available. We hope you continue to use the product and give the new features a shot.
Sincerely,
Ian Parks
Product Manager

Chromium + kde, "Use System Title Bar and Borders" issue

Using chromium 19.0.1084.56, I have an issue with kde. My current window has no system border. But if I open a new window, the system border appears for that new window. I have to toggle on and off again "Use System Title Bar and Borders" for it to go away.
Am I the only one?

1. Your current window has no titlebar.
2. You switch titlebars on, but they don't appear until you open a new window.
3. You then "have to toggle [the option] on and of again" to make "'it' go away."
So, do you want the titlebar or not? It isn't clear what you want, since you seem to be complaining about both having and not having titlebars. If you want them on, then do they stay on from one session to the next? If you don't want them on, why turn them on? If you do want them on, why toggle them back off?
I don't want the system titlebar.
the window on the bottom is my current one, the one on the top is when I open a new window.

Additional Backgrounds and Borders

Hi! I am just getting into creating my own greeting cards. Mostly for Birth Announcements, Invites, Save the Dates, etc. On the Artwork and Effects Panel, there is such a minimum selection of backgrounds and borders (and others, but these are my main concerns). Being new to this, I wasn't sure if there was a place to download additional backgrounds and borders somewhere and adding them to the Artwork and Effects Panel? There's a specific type of border (striped) I'm needing for an invite, and I'm very limited (mostly polka dots) to the ones I already have in there.
I am currently using Photoshop Elements 5.0 on a Toshiba laptop.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you!!

Try the Adobe Exchange
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/
Click on "Advanced Search" and select Photoshop from the pull-down list.
There's a huge selection of backgrounds, borders, frames, artwork, effects, etc., which you install in your Presets directory. I don't know if any can be added specifically to the Artwork and Effects Panel.

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).

[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:

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.

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...

Openbox and AWN Dock

Hey guys

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? … 07&page=27
http://ompldr.org/vZGo5ag - picture
Hes got a lovely AWN setup. with a popup menu with apps and everything.
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

I have some problem...
If compiz deactive an use compositing feauture in metacity this shadow don't apear again..
I hope master archlinux can reply this problem

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.
