How Do I edit the openbox menu

Post by dedhart »

I understand the default is in /usr/share/lxde/openbox, but where should I store the edited file? Is there anywhere in my home directory it will search first?

look at line 642 0f the lxde-rc.xml file it says
<!-- default menu file (or custom one in $HOME/.config/openbox/) -->
<file>/usr/share/lxde/openbox/menu.xml</file>
I change mine to wherever i store the menu i want to use then restart openbox and your menu should appear for instance mine says

Code: Select all

<file>/$HOME/.config/openbox/mymenu.xml

Hi

If you also want to edit openbox menu with a GUI, have a look at obmenu. Note, that you still need to change "lxde-rc.xml" like lotson described.
