open windows centered

Post by mike555 »

What is the setting to have opening windows open in the center of my desktop? instead of on top left.

Didn't find any related topic :(
Perhaps it has to do with Openbox settings?

Yes, it has something to do with Openbox settings ;)
In Openbox Configuration Manager, in Windows tab, you should check Center new windows when they are placed option. That should do the job.

Thanks alot LXNevermind, that was indeed how to do it. I have tried to un-check that option and the position of all the opened windows became on the top left.

I think the question has been answer for the OP (Original Poster) or anyone else who will need this info in the future :)
