Openbox rc.conf applications section

I'm having a little problem here, this is my applications section now:
<applications>
<application name="gkrellm">
<layer>below</layer>
<skip_pager>yes</skip_pager>
<skip_taskbar>yes</skip_taskbar>
</application>
<application name="Eclipse">
<decor>no</decor>
</application>
</applications>
But it just doesn't work... The "name" tag used to be "class" and that worked in the previous version but it doesn't since the upgrade. Neither with "name" or "class".
Do I have something wrong? I don't see it...

Here it is, but I'm fairly sure all the rest is correct. (As in all the rest works)
I only read the first few lines, but I can see you aren't using the latest rc.xml file that comes with the latest releases of openbox. Although it may take a bit of your time, you'll probably be better off copying the new rc file located at /etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml to your ~/.config/openbox/ directory and editing it to suit your needs (backup your present one for comparison). It doesn't take very long, and you'll be completely up-to-date.

(Solved) Openbox rc.conf application specific mousebinds?

Hi everyone
I have been trying to figure out if there is any way to create an application specific mousebind. But I can't figure out how or even if it is possible. I have added an urxvt terminal to the background of my and I want openbox's root-menu to appear on a rightclick.
Thanks

I've kinda figured it out, by using the if action. First I changed the right-mousebutton keybinding in the "client" context in rc.conf to the following:
<mousebind button="Right" action="Press">
<action name="if">
<title>*background*</title>
<then>
<action name="ShowMenu">
<menu>root-menu</menu>
</action>
</then>
<else>
<action name="Focus"/>
<action name="Raise"/>
</else>
</action>
</mousebind>
The actions between the <else> tags are the default actions of the right mouse button in the client context.
Then I had to change the window title of the urxvt terminal to something including background. Which was a lot harder (didn't get all the .bashrc syntax) but I by accident stumbled on something resembling a solution. By running the urxvt terminal with "urxvt -name urxvt_background -tn urxvt" it's window title got set to "urxvt_background".
And now it works. (Still got to figure out if i want to do the same with the middle mouse button, the client-list-combined-menu is convenient, but so is using paste.)

Unable to view the "Discovery Application" section under studio.

Hello,
I have installed OEID 3.0, using integrator I have loaded the sample getting started application to the server successfully.
I am following the instructions given under the getting started guide, after loading the data to the server I am able to login successfully to studio http://localhost:8101.
However in the login screen I am getting only the "welcome Admin Admin!" menu, under which I am unable to see the Discovery Application section.
But I followed the guide to access the control panel and change the default datasource, as per the guide I clicked "Back to home" but still Discovery Application section is not visible.
Which is obviously used for creating and managing the applications.
But I managed to create the application by selecting control panel > Portal > Application and I created the application and managed to load the EID_3.0_SampleApp.LAR file and able to successfully launch the studio.
Can anyone kindly let me know why I am unable to view the discovery application section till now?
Thanks.

I don't completely follow yet what you are seeing in your Studio instance. Is your "Discovery Applications" panel not showing, or is it empty, or is the "New Application" button missing? Perhaps you could paste a screenshot somewhere and link it here.
You say you are having problems with datasources - could you paste your data source JSON, and any error messages you are getting in the Studio logs?

Why is there a #1 badge on the Applications section of LIBRARY?

For about a week now, there's been a #1 badge next to the Applications section of LIBRARY and I can't figure out what it's there for. The badge is the same as the one that appears when there are new Podcasts available, but when I open the Applications section, there's no indication that anything has changed. I've tried updating the iPod apps, but they're all current. I've synced my iPod touch several times in hopes it would cause the badge to vanish, but no joy.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for your reply, but as I mentioned in my original post, I've already checked for updates. I agree, though, that that's what the badge should be telling me, maybe there's a corrupt preference. Probably the next time an app really does need updating, the badge will reset itself.

Applications section keeps going away!!! Help??

My "Applications" section keeps going away in iTunes. The only way to make it come back is to download a new app that I do not currently have. This is rediculous. Does anyone have the same problem???

Additionally, if you are in a corporate environment, your IT staff may need to perform the update.

Is the OBPM Workspace application section 508 Compliant

Our customers need the application to be section 508 compliant. Is the out of the box ...OBPM workspace application compliant or would we have to build our own user interface and use papi to interact with BPM?

Meyers,
You will need to chat with either Oracle Support or PWC should have a Oracle Sales channel or something that can get you this information. I remember reading that they where heading in that direction... other than that it was not an issue for me.

Openbox :: linking an application to a desktop [SOLVED]

I'm trying to get Openbox to open certain applications in certain desktops, like Firefox in desktop 3 and Quanta in desktop 1 etc.
I've followed the instructions in the Openbox web site and created the following in ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml
<openbox_config>
<applications>
<application name="firefox">
<desktop>3</desktop>
<maximized>yes</maximized>
<layer>normal</layer>
</application>
<application name="quanta">
<desktop>1</desktop>
<maximized>yes</maximized>
<layer>normal</layer>
</application>
</applications>
</openbox_config>
Now, if I understand correctly, when I open firefox (regardless of the desk I'm in at the time) it should open in desktop 3 ... but it does not
Instead it opens in whatever desktop I'm in at the time.
I've run the Reconfigure Openbox command after my changes and I've also tried using the desktop names (eg: desktop 1 is 'Apps', desktop 3 is 'Web') in the configuration file but not joy.
I'm I doing something wrong? Can anyone tell me if I'm missing something?
Thanks in advance.
R.

Hey guys, all of the sudden the <application class="Firefox*"> kicked in and now it is working just fine!!
I'm a happy camper Thanks moljac024!!
and using B's tip to get an application's class (xprop |grep WM_CLASS) I got the class of Thunderbird (which is 'Thunderbird-bin') and got both of them working.
Just for reference, in case it may help someone else, here is the code:
<application class="Firefox*">
<desktop>3</desktop>
<layer>normal</layer>
</application>
<application class="Thunderbird-bin*">
<desktop>4</desktop>
<maximized>yes</maximized>
<layer>normal</layer>
</application>
Thank you both !!

Openbox/e17 GTK Applications look blocky and not correct

Hi Guys,
I have been using Openbox and e17, and for some reason any GTK application does not look right on either. Is there any way to fix this?
Regards,
mag1strate

We won't be able to help you if you do not answer the questions we ask. The relevant config files are the ones for gtk ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini and ~/.gtkrc-2.0 (but that should be obvious if you've read the link bohoomil posted). Also, if you have this problem with Fedora, then you should post the question at their forum and not here as mentioned in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … ow_to_Post

How do I add content types in the Applications section under Preferences

I have several applications I use regularly on multiple macs. For specific file types, Firefox 4 will only give me the option to save the file. It does not allow me to select an app to use, and, the file type is not listed in the Content Type list on the Applications tab in Preferences.
In particular, I have XLS associated with Excel, but XLSX is not listed, so all I can ever do is save it, then open it.
Another case, on one mac, PDF is associated with Preview, but it is not listed on the other, so again, all I can do is save it. It doesn't allow me the option to change actions.
There must be a place to change the default behavior for unknown file types, isn't there?

You can look at this extension:
*MIME Edit: http://space.geocities.yahoo.co.jp/gl/alice0775/view/20080912/1221150790

How do i enable the "unknown sources" option in the applications section of my settings. How do I do this? I don't see an applications portion!

I am trying to download kaspersky tablet anti-virus to my iPad and need to enable unknown sources from settings and applications and don't know how to do this. Help please!

You cannot download antivirus software to the iPad and you don't need it either. There are no viruses for iOS. You can only download content to the iPad from the App Store, iTunes and iBooks on the iPad. You can't download software via a web browser on the iPad.

I found .log files in my main applications section in the finder.

Can I trash them? Why are they in my applications folder?

The files are all called "ReWireDLL XXXXXX XXXXXX.log

(Solved) rxvt transparency "can't determine colour"

Hi Everyone
So I have been trying to add one of those fancy transparent background terminals to my system. But I've stumbled upon a problem and google hasn't been so kind as to provide an answer.
The true transparency refuses to work. I'm using the cairo composite manager, openbox and the xf86-video-ati drivers.
.Xdefaults
RootTerm.scrollbar: false
RootTerm.borderless: true
RootTerm.depth: 32
RootTerm.background: rgba:1111/1111/1111/dddd
.config/openbox/rc.conf
<application name="RootTerm">
<decor>no</decor>
<skip_taskbar>yes</skip_taskbar>
<skip_pager>yes</skip_pager>
<layer>below</layer>
<position>
<x>center</x>
<y>center</y>
</position>
<focus>no</focus>
<desktop>all</desktop>
</application>
The result:
$ rxvt -name RootTerm
rxvt: can't determine colour: rgba:1111/1111/1111/dddd
And the rxvt terminal is not transparent. The whole "can't determine colour" bit has me stumped and google won't find me anything useful.
Probably related to this issue, I tried to manually configure my Radeon drivers (HD5850), but I am unsure if I did so correctly.
//etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Radeon"
Driver "radeon"
Option "ColorTiling" "on"
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
Option "RenderAccel" "on"
Option "EXANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
EndSection
Finally I was wondering if it is possible to make the openbox menu appear if you rightclick on the rxvt background terminal.
Thanks in advance

I'm not familiar with the rxvt package, but I did just install it and replicated your issue. This setup works perfectly however with urxvt (package: rxvt-unicode). Perhaps the rxvt package was compiled with different options that do not allow these settings.

Applications in Openbox's rc.xml file

Hey there
I'm trying to configure an application in rc.xml Openbox's file and I would be glad for any help.
I've got Tilda terminal and, following Wiki's instructions to get Tilda always below other running things, I typed
<application name="tilda">
<layer>below</layer>
</application>
I've also checked this code with instructions in rc.xml file. I've tried putting these lines in various places,but they just wouldn't work. If the program is on fullscreen it's okay,but if it's smaller and I get the cursor away, the program's window disappears.
So my question is- where or how to insert mentioned code in rc.xml file so Tilda is always below other applications running? (I would post the file itself but as for now I'm unable to copy it, so I hope someone just knows the method )
Any help will be appreciated...

Thanks for help, though it doesn't change anything (maybe I put the code in wrong place of <applications> section? As for now it's right below tag <applications>, so it looks like this (on yellow background is the code suggested by Wiki):
<applications>
<application name="Tilda">
<layer>below</layer>
</application>

</applications>
x.X As for your question, I run it just on the laptop. I got it in Openbox's autostart file (which works) and I wonder whether it would work for if you do the same thing and then switch to another screen.

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] Transparent URxvt position in Openbox

I've followed the "Urxvt in the background" topic in the ArchWiki Openbox entry. I am unable to get the terminal to appear anywhere but the upper right corner. I have tried various changes to the postion settings in the application section of the rc.xml file with no effect. It also doesn't seem to be on the bottom layer, as other windows can be moved below it. It also doesn't have focus.
My current application section is rc.xml
<application name="urxvt">
<decor>no</decor>
<focus>yes</focus>
<position>
<x>-5</x>
<y>0</y>
</position>
<layer>below</layer>
<desktop>all</desktop>
</application>

That didn't work either. Here is what I have found, after further experimenting...
Here is my .Xdefaults file
URxvt*transparent:true
URxvt*scrollBar: false
#URxvt*borderLess: true
URxvt*foreground: White
And here is my current rc.xml file
<application name="urxvt">
<decor>no</decor>
<focus>yes</focus>
<position>
<x>-5</x>
<y>5</y>
</position>
<layer>below</layer>
<desktop>1</desktop>
</application>
As shown above, my terminal appears as transparent, on the desktop, and in the upper right-hand corner, but with a black border. If I uncomment the "URxvt*borderLess: true" line the terminal appears in the upper left-hand corner and borderless. It is as though this line causes the position section in the rc.xml file to be ingnored.:(
