In your section about using transset with the scroll wheel, you forgot to mention that the xml lines need to be added to the section in your rc.conf file with the context named “TitleBar”

makes a big difference, wont work other wise.

^_^

great write up though

I get this error when I try to run obmenu (i’ve runned it before for about 100 times):

I’ve been following your guide but when I try to install obconf and get to this command “PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./configure –prefix=/usr” I get a response of “invalid prefix”. I tried adding an extre “-” like this “–prefix=/usr” then it seemed to work. No visible errors, but I couldn’t do the command “make”. And for some reason I can’t install obconf using “sudo apt-get install obconf” because that just complains about needing to install dependencies that are already installed when I did Openbox install. And it can’t overwrite them.

Any suggestion on what I can do to sort this. I’m not at home so I can’t give more accurate information.

Cheers,
Fredrik
