Hi
- How can I change the applications when I make a right click on the desktop?
I have PCManFm, Firfefox and Xterm in 'Applications' but my terminal is urxvt not xterm...
It's not in .config/menus .config/openbox, obconf or obmenu
- Is it possible to add the applications menu of LXpanel on the right click (desktop)?
thanks

Hi
I guess you mean the openbox menu. Simply check the ./config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml. If it's not existing, copy it from "/usr/share/lxde/openbox".

Hi Maces
I would like to 'copy' all applications of the LXPanel menu to the desktop right click ('Applications' menu) like this:

Hi,
you can't copy the menu. But there is possibility, to generate a menu from your *.dektop files (similar to what the LXDE menu is using). Try this command:
Code: Select all
xdg_menu --format openbox3 --root-menu /etc/xdg/menus/arch-applications.menu >./xdg-menu.xml
You can build nice scripts with this, happy scripting.

closest i have got, is to install obmenu which makes a menu.xml file in ~/.config/openbox then save as lxde-rc.xml
do a
and you'll see an app menu
