[Solved] Default application right-click menus (Openbox)

Hi, I am wondering how to edit the look of the default "right-click" menu for applications so that it matches my openbox root menu. I want to do simple things, like take the icons out, and change the highlight color. I've been doing a lot of digging (rc.xml, themerc, obtheme, google, etc) and am just getting nowhere, but I'm wasting a ton of time looking, and feel like the answer is right under my nose. It seems like it's a "per app" sort of thing, where apps are unaffected by the ob theme.
Any help is appreciated.

The openbox themes only affect elements that are controlled by the window manager. Popup menus that come up in some applications when your right click are not controlled by the window manager - they are a component of a widget toolkit. This would most likely be gtk or qt. If it is gtk, you can edit your gtkrc or use a tool like lxappearance.

Right click menus are not readable

My problem is that right click menus does not show correctly in Thunderbird. They are there but wrong size not readable.

same issue with LastPass on Firefox 4 nightly build from Aug 12.

Disabling Right Click Menus for Network Magic's System Tray Icons for Standard and Guest Accounts

OK, so I want to know how to disable the right click menus for Network Magic's system tray icons only for Vista's standard and Guest accounts? I don't want other users signed in as a Standard account or guest account having the ability to disable the system tray icons for network magic.

Hi, currently it's not possible to disable NM from being accessed by a Limited user account, but that is a good idea.
My Cisco Network Magic Configuration:
Router: D-Link WBR-2310 A1 FW:1.04, connected to Comcast High Speed Internet
Desktop, iMac: NM is on the Windows Partition, using Boot camp to access Windows, Windows 7 Pro 32-bit RTM, Broadcom Wireless N Card, McAfee Personal Firewall 2009,
Mac Partition of the iMac is using Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard
Laptop: Windows XP Pro SP3, Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, McAfee Personal Firewall 2008
Please note that though I am a beta tester for Network Magic, I am not a employee of Linksys/Cisco and am volunteering my time here to help other NM users.

[solved] right-click menus instantly close

When I right-click in a GTK application, the context menu that appears is instantly closed upon release of the mouse button. This is extremely annoying as it always automatically selects the first option from the context menu, e.g. creating a new folder in Thunar.
I remember having read about this issue somewhere here in the Arch forums, but couldn't find the topic again since yesterday. I think it had something to do with the selected GTK or icon theme.
I'm using awesome as window manager and my GTK2-config looks like this:
gtk-theme-name="Aldabra"
gtk-icon-theme-name="gnome-brave"
gtk-font-name="Sans 10"
gtk-cursor-theme-name="Bluecurve"
gtk-cursor-theme-size=0
gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_ICONS
gtk-toolbar-icon-size=GTK_ICON_SIZE_SMALL_TOOLBAR
gtk-button-images=1
gtk-menu-images=1
gtk-enable-event-sounds=0
gtk-enable-input-feedback-sounds=0
gtk-xft-antialias=1
gtk-xft-hinting=1
gtk-xft-hintstyle="hintfull"
gtk-xft-rgba="rgb"
gtk-recent-files-max-age=0
Thanks for any advice!

You posted before I could edit my stupidity I have seen this sort of behavior with xcompmgr. You might try turning it off (temporarily) and see if you can replicate the issue.

[SOLVED]Cannot right click in openbox

Quite simple actually, I cannot right click anywhere. Most everything else seems to work though.
(P.S.: Arch newbie here)
Some info: 64-bit Gateway M6720
I just used xev and found out that the key isn't even being picked up. I tried the same thing on an Ubuntu live CD. Looks like I've got a broken right-clicker...

I guess you are running openbox-standalone and your X closes when you do
$ killall openbox
or some loginmanager. My mistake for not notifying earlier.
but there is the way around.
The trick is not letting exec to land on openbox-session.
for that you can for the moment move your .xinitrc
$ mv .xinitrc .xinitrc.bak
then you can fireup you xinit which leaves you with xterm.
then run openbox-session or openbox, blender or alternative windows manager like fluxbox or something to just get work started.
My method are not really applicable you can see..

[Solved] Two Finger Right Click not working properly

When I use two fingers to perform a right click for example in chrome, then the context menu appears only for a blink of an eye and disappears directly again. (The issue appears independently from the application - I checked that)

I'm on a Lenovo T440p. I once got Ubuntu installed on this machine where right click worked properly so I highly suspect it is not a hardware issue.

Instead of using execution statements involving
synclient
on startup of X I'm now using /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf for configuring my settings. This solved the problem.
I realized by the way that in my former setup no matter how many fingers I used for pressing down the ClickPad it did always perform a normal click in addition. That is why the context menu disappeared right away: It performed a mixture of a right and left click.
@Head_on_a_Stick: No Problem, your attempt to help is much appreciated

Right click menus do not appear fully.

'''''italic text'''''Hello, I'm hoping someone can give me some help with a problem I am having with the "right click menu" not appearing completely, does not matter what site or where on the browser I try to get the menu. It makes it very difficult copy and pasting.
I am using the 3.6.19 version (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.19) Gecko/20110707 Firefox/3.6.19). I use this version because it allows me to use the ad-ons that I use every single day like, Roboform and others that at this point will not work with any of the newer browsers.
This problem started about two/three days ago and I'm not sure why it happened or how to correct it. I have not added any new downloads or anything else for that matter. Is there anyone that can help me fix this little annoyance please?

Thanks for the response!
It's via my distribution's repositories. 64-bit. I just downloaded the version from your link above (14.0.1), which turned out to be 32-bit, and there's no change. I don't get any D-Bus errors on load (only some complaints that a 64-bit plugin was the wrong ELF class and couldn't be loaded), but I still can't make any menus appear. I also tried downloading Aurora (16.0a2) with the same result.
The system requirements should be fine as I have been running Firefox on this machine since I bought it a few years ago, and being quad core with 8GB RAM it should be well above the minimum specs needed.
I'm thinking it's a bug that has been introduced somewhere along the way. Any ideas how I can troubleshoot?

Mouse Right Click Menus flash and are hard to read

I am using Windows 7, and on FF 14.0.1.
Basically, I am having the exact same issue as is described here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/753329?as=aaq
When I right click on menus, or when I go to the Firefox menu, the menu is bordered, but it is transparent. If I click on the location where a menu option is, that option is enabled (open new tab, etc). Or if I use the shortcut key, that also works.
But it's a big pain.

Do you use a custom theme or any add-ons that customize menus?
This was helpful to some users in the other thread: did you try disabling graphics hardware acceleration? Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You usually need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If you restart Firefox, is the issue resolved?

Magic Mouse Right click menus not working

Just got a magic mouse (using 10.5.8) and when I right click on a dock icon, the menu comes up (ie empty trash) however I cannot (left) click any of the choices and the menu freezes. I have to right click the desktop to snap out of it. This is happening for all icons/menus. Anyone know of this issue? All other mouse functions (swiping, scrolling etc...) seem to be working. Regular right click functions work, it's just this menu issue.
thanks

First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
If not then move these files to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

Strange issue with right click menus in apps

Every now and again the right click menu will stop working in applications. I won't be able to right click at all and sometimes closing and re-opening the app will work and sometimes I will need to restart the computer to fix the issue.
I am running a very simple Fluxbox and SLiM based system and only really use Chromium, Thunderbird, XChat and Gvim on a regular basis but it seems to affect all of them from time to time which suggests to me it is a system wide problem. Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be causing this rather annoying problem?
As an aside this never effects the right click menu in Fluxbox.

Issues with a massive right-click context menu have been reported as caused by Firebug, so make sure to update Firebug to the latest version.

Can I set toolbar items to open in a new tab by default without right clicking 1st and telling them to?

I like to have some tabs open at the same time. Then I have some items in the toolbar that a sometimes need to open. I would like them to automatically open in a new tab without closing any tabs I already have open. Can this be done? I know if I right click on the toolbar item then choose open in a new tab it works. ??

I do not know of any way to specify only some bookmarks to open in a new tab. You could middle-click on a bookmark to make it open in a new tab.
There are add-ons that can make all bookmarks open in a new tab, such as:
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/13784/ Open Bookmarks in New Tab]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122/ Tab Mix Plus]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59961/ Tab Utilities]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/62581/ Tab Utilities Lite]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/14439/ Tabberwocky]
All but the first of those will add many other tab browsing features. There will be other tabbed related add-ons that can open all bookmarks in a new tab, you can find them by searching https://addons.mozilla.org/

Reader 9 - "Print" and "Open with Adobe Reader..." options are missing from the right-click menus.

Since upgrading from Reader 8 to Reader 9, Windows XP users are no longer able to right-click 1 or more PDF files from Windows Explorer and choose either "Print" or "Open with Adobe Reader...". Those options are no longer listed in the right-click menu. We have experienced this on several computers. I downgraded a PC to Reader 8, and these options re-appeared, then disappeared again when I upgraded back to Reader 9.

Could you tell me which version of Reader 9 you are installing?
Please give the exact version it is showing you from Help | About Adobe Reader.
