================================================================================ Openbox Quick Guide ================================================================================

ACCESSING THE DYNAMIC MENU

Right-click anywhere on the desktop to open the dynamic menu. The menu provides access to applications, system settings, and session controls.

GENERATING THE MENU

If the menu appears empty or you need to refresh it, run:

obmenu-generator -i -p

This command generates a dynamic menu with icons enabled.

• The "-i" flag enables icons in the menu
• The "-p" flag creates a pipe menu (dynamic, always up-to-date)

To run without icons (faster):

obmenu-generator -p

RESTARTING OPENBOX

After changing Openbox configuration files, restart Openbox to apply changes:

openbox --reconfigure

Or select "Reload Openbox" from the right-click menu (under Utilities > Openbox)
