All you need to do then is select one and click 'apply '. Nitrogen will search the directory hierarchy starting at the point specified on the command line, and then will present you with a list of images that it finds which could be used for wallpaper. You can run it from the command line in a terminal emulator, and you give it the path to wherever the image files you want to use for wallpaper are located. Once you get nitrogen installed, you're pretty much done. This time it is the nitrogen package that you need to install, either using synaptic or apt-get.

install another program! Just as you had to for menu management, and panels, and pretty much anything else you want to add on. It probably won't come as news that to manage the desktop wallpaper in openbox you have to. I made a big deal out of this with all of the desktops, so to be fair I should do the same here. I just realized that there is one topic that I have not covered yet - wallpaper.

If you're "sharing" panels between openbox and Xfce, and you make a change such as removing a launcher or icon from the panel when running openbox, then the next time to login to an Xfce session you will see that the change has been made there, as well. That's important to remember, though, if you decide to make changes to the panels. xfce4-panel has its own configuration file that it reads, so it's going to end up looking the same. A small bottom Panel with applications launchers, a spanning top Panel with the menu and controls.

Hey, cool! Not only does it have Xfce Panels now, but they are configured exactly as I had set them up when running Xfce on this system. If you look at the Openbox Help topic about Panels you will find a list of 30 or so different packages. One of the best and most productive would be some kind of Panel where we could have a menu, some launchers, controls and such. But honestly, I don't know very many people who would be satisfied with it at this point, so we need to add a few more things. OK, that's all good, and if minimum resource use and desktop clutter is your highest priority, then we have reached a point where openbox is usable. If you look carefully here you can see that I have added an item for the shutter program. You can add/change/move/delete menu items here as well, and then save the modified xml file and restart openbox to pick up the changes. To edit that menu click File/ Open, and then navigate to the path shown here, or simply invoke it as obmenu /var/lib/openbox/debian-menu.xml. That means it uses the content from another menu file, in this case /var/lib/openbox/debian-menu.xml. If you look at the /Debian line, you will see that it is listed as a Link. But there are still some important things missing from the desktop - like a way to start an application! So let's take a look at that. That covers all of the possibilities for customizing the look and feel of openbox. Note that this does not create a dock (or panel, or whatever), that still has to be done by another application, but if/when such an application is running, this specifies how openbox will interact with it.

Dock: Where to place and how to handle a dock.

This can be useful if you don't have panels or docks, and the background is the only way to get to a window manager menu.

Margins: If you want to reserve a few pixels around the edge of the screen so you can always reach the desktop background.

Desktops: Specify the number and name of virtual desktops, and behavior on switching.

Mouse: How to handle window focus transfer with mouse movement, and what action to take when the title bar is double-clicked.

Move & Resize: Behavior such as whether to (try to) maintain the window contents while moving, and whether to dynamically display size information while resizing.

Windows: Specify placement and focus of new windows, and how multiple displays are handled.

Shutter can be a convenient way to minimize a window without actually losing it off the display and having to use Alt-Tab to recover it. If you like the 'shutter roll-up' function, add 'S' to the mix. If you prefer the Ubuntu approach of having all the buttons at the left side, specify IMCL. Each possible item is represented by one letter, so the default is 'NLIMC', which places the window icon at the left end, and the iconify, maximize and close buttons at the right end. The idea here is that the Title is always centered in the title bar, and it automatically expands to push whatever is placed on either side of it to the ends of the title bar.

Appearance: Specify the content and order of window title bar controls.
