# Manjaro Openbox
|
|
|
|
## Configuable
|
|
Openbox is highly configurable and there is virtually no limits on what you can do.
|
|
|
|
## Elementary
|
|
### Keyboard shortcuts AKA keybinds
|
|
The configuration of Openbox has a lot of keyboard shortcuts - it is not possible to explain them all - just say - most of them is working with window navigation, tiling and moving windows.
|
|
|
|
To mention two tiling shortcuts
|
|
|
|
* <kbd>Alt</kbd><kbd>Numpad 1 to 9</kbd> tile active window to a fourth
|
|
* <kbd>Win</kbd><kbd>Numpad 1 to 9</kbd> tile active window to a sixth
|
|
|
|
### Available keybinds
|
|
To list all keybinds open the desktop menu and navigate to **Shortcuts**.
|
|
|
|
### Changing preferences
|
|
All settings can be found in the desktop root menu **Preferences**.
|
|
|
|
### Dynamic desktop menu
|
|
This configuration of Openbox is using a static root menu including a dynamic Application menu. Should you prefer you can switch to a dynamic menu using the **Switch Menu** item.
|
|
|
|
### Polybar or Tint2 or both
|
|
Should you prefer Tint2 over Polybar it is easy to change from the **Settings and Preferences** root menu. Remember to edit the Openbox **autostart** file and enable Tint2.
|
|
|
|
### $HOME/openbox/autostart
|
|
The file contains several options which you enable/disable according to preference
|
|
|
|
### Polybar is configured using modules
|
|
Having them all in one file is confusing so they are split out to their own files in `~/.config/polybar/modules`. Some modules are just examples and not configured identical.
|
|
|
|
To include a module modify the configuration in the main config folder
|
|
|
|
* uncomment the module in `modules.conf`
|
|
* add it to the configuration in `config` found
|
|
|
|
### Compositor
|
|
Compton has been renamed to picom and as such the configuration has been moved to `$HOME/.config/picom/picom.conf`.
|
|
|
|
Compositing may behave differently for different hardware combination. The defaults in the configuration is on a best effort base - you may need to adjust.
|
|
|
|
Especially if you are using Nvidia graphics - it may be a better solution to use the Nvidia compositor.
|
|
|
|
### Help and Info
|
|
All kinds of help and info are available from the desktop menu **Help and Info**
|
|
|
|
## Network address display
|
|
Conky and Polybar needs information of your network interfaces if you want the IP address displayed.
|
|
|
|
For the users of VPN services both polybar an conky displays your current wan ip. If you are disconnected from VPN you will quickly notice.
|
|
|
|
### Conky network
|
|
Conky can be controlled using the **Conky Chooser** from the **Preferences** menu.
|
|
|
|
Conky files is the new lua format and placed in your home's **.config/conky** folder.
|
|
|
|
To make your IP address appear in the conky you need to set the correct interface names.
|
|
|
|
nmcli | grep -e en -e wl
|
|
|
|
Then insert the interface names in the **template1** and **template2** and save the file
|
|
|
|
-- ethernet
|
|
template1 = 'eth0',
|
|
-- wireless
|
|
template2 = 'wlan0',
|
|
|
|
### Polybar network
|
|
Edit the file `~/.config/polybar/config` and insert the interface names and save file. When the `config` file is saved polybar should reload. If not choose the **Restart Polybar** from the desktop menu **Preference** → **Restart Polybar**.
|

|
## Conky Weather info
|
|
|
|
To change the displayed weather location edit the conky config and change the **template0** to print the desired text
|
|
|
|
-- location
|
|
template0 = 'LINUX AARHUS',
|
|
|
|
To actual display your locations weather info - open the [AccuWeather.com][1] webpage and locate your city.
|
|
|
|
When you have your city's weather forecast in your browser - goto the source of the page and locate the javascript variable named
|
|
|
|
var currentLocation =
|
|
|
|
This variable hold the data needed for the rss link - which is parsed by acc_rss script. The below codeblock is the datastructure for the city of Aarhus in Denmark.
|
|
|
|
var currentLocation = {
|
|
"administrativeArea":{
|
|
"englishName":"Central Jutland",
|
|
"id":"82",
|
|
"localizedName":"Midtjylland"
|
|
},
|
|
"country":{
|
|
"englishName":"Denmark",
|
|
"id":"DK",
|
|
"localizedName":"Danmark"
|
|
},
|
|
"englishName":"Aarhus",
|
|
"gmtOffset":1.0,
|
|
"timeZoneCode":"CET",
|
|
"hasAlerts":true,
|
|
"hasForecastConfidence":true,
|
|
"hasMinuteCast":true,
|
|
"hasRadar":true,
|
|
"key":"124594",
|
|
"lat":56.155,
|
|
"localizedName":"Aarhus",
|
|
"lon":10.173,
|
|
"primaryPostalCode":"",
|
|
"region":{
|
|
"englishName":"Europe",
|
|
"id":"EUR",
|
|
"localizedName":"Europa"
|
|
},
|
|
"timeZone":"CET"
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
|
|
From the datastructure you need the following values
|
|
|
|
currentLocation.region.id = EUR
|
|
currentLocation.country.id = DK
|
|
currentLocation.key = 124594
|
|
currentLocation.localizedName = AARHUS
|
|
|
|
|
|
Edit the file `~/.config/conky/accu_weather/acc_rss` and insert the values from the data structre
|
|
