Hello,
So, I have downloaded SparkyLinux 4.4 MinimalGUI as this is what I need. However, I need to edit a desktop menu , the one when you right click on the desktop and can choose from sub-category a different application to run. I have tried to edit:
/etc/xdg/openbox/menu.xml
/etc/skel/.config/openbox/menu.xml
/var/lib/openbox/menu.xml
/etc/skel/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml
/etc/skel/.config/openbox/rc.xml
/etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml
None of those listed above worked when I changed them, even after restarting openbox, can someone help me here to edit the menu ?
I'm confused as hell since you normally edit xml file and it just work.
Any ideas ?
Thank You.
Openbox menu displayed with MinimalGUI is generated by obmenu-generator.
It creates a Debian menu to be identical to the menu of fbpanel.
reference:
~/.config/openbox/
~/.config/obmenu-generator
You can generate a free Openbox menu by updating ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml
Or use the menu editing tool used on the desktop.
It provides a unified menu with Openbox and fbpanel.

So for someone who have the same problem as I do, I have simply generated static menu then I had 100% OpenBox menu so:
Advanced Settings -> Obmenu-generator -> Generate a static menu then Advanced Settings -> OpenBox -> Restart OpenBox and now I can freely edit ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml.
The second question related to this topic is if I remove this ob-menu generator will it brake my OpenBox menu ?
There is a post-remove script added to ob-menu-generator, which automatically put the "standard" menu config file back, after removing obmenu-generator.
And why are you double posting?
If Obmenu-generator is installed, which I believe to be the case for your operating system, the file to edit is ~/.config/obmenu-generator/schema.pl. See
http://lxlinux.com/obmenu-generator.html. If you want to switch your situation to the normal Openbox static menu, then open the menu, go to "Advanced Settings" and click "Generate a static menu". Then the file to edit is ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml. For more information on editing a static openbox menu, see
