See the + GNU General Public License for more details. - doc/ - this holds the documentation files that explain - the various aspects of Openbox. - - nls/ - this holds the message files used to generate - message catalogs for different languages. - - src/ - this holds the actual C++ source code for the window - manager. - - util/ - this holds source code for small utility programs - that help Openbox do what it does best. - - -Quick Start: ------------- -The quickest and easiest way to get Openbox up and running is to run the -following commands: - -% cd openbox-x.x.x -% ./configure -% make -% su -c 'make install' - -This will configure, compile and install Openbox the quickest. For those -who like to spend the extra 15 seconds reading ./configure --help, some -compile time options can be turned on and off before the build. - -For general information on GNU's ./configure, see the file INSTALL. - - -Configuring Openbox: ---------------------- -The next thing most users want to do after installing Openbox is to configure -the colors, fonts, menus, etc. to their liking. This is covered by the files -data/README, data/README.menu and data/README.style. These files give -detailed information on how to customize your new window manager. - - -Included utilities: -------------------- -Currently, the only included utilities are a program named bsetroot and a -script called bsetbg. bsetroot is a replacement for xsetroot, minus a few -options. The difference between xsetroot and bsetroot is that bsetroot has -been coded for multiple screens (e.g. multi-headed displays), where as the -stock xsetroot is not. The bsetbg script acts as a wrapper for most of the -popular programs used to set background pixmaps, making it possible -for styles to provide a machine-independent rootCommand. - - -Third-party utilities: ----------------------- -Openbox does not handle any keyboard shortcuts; instead it supports a -communication protocol which allows other programs to handle these and related -tasks. If you'd like to be able to use keyboard shortcuts with Openbox, -bbkeys (available at http://bbkeys.sourceforge.net) can provide you with this -functionality. -If you're looking for a GUI with which to configure your Openbox menu and/or -styles, check out http://bbconf.sourceforge.net. bbconf is a QT program that -does just that, as well as providing a GUI for editing your keybindings for the -above mentioned bbkeys. - -Supported Platforms: --------------------- -ix86-Linux 2.0.x (libc5 and glibc2) -ix86-Linux 2.1.x (libc5 and glibc2) -ix86-Linux 2.2.x (libc5 and glibc2) -ix86-Linux 2.3.x (glibc2.1) -ix86-Linux 2.4.x (glibc2.2) -ix86-FreeBSD 4.0-current -ix86-FreeBSD 3.3-{stable,release} -ix86-FreeBSD 3.2-{stable,release} -ix86-FreeBSD 3.1-{stable,release} -ix86-FreeBSD 2.2.x-stable -ix86-NetBSD 1.3.3 -ix86-NetBSD 1.4.1 -ix86-OpenBSD 2.6 -ix86-BSDi 4.0 -PPC-mkLinux (version?) -ix86-Solaris 2.6 -Sparc-Solaris 2.6 (2.5 anyone?) -Sparc-Solaris 2.7 -ix86-Solaris 7 (== 2.7?) -Alpha-Digital UNIX 4.0D -Alpha-Linux 2.2.x -rs6k-AIX 4.1.3 -rs6k-AIX 4.3.2 -MIPS-IRIX 6.5 (requires gcc, MIPSpro didn't like some of the template-fu) -ix86-OS/2 (version? recent successes?) -hp9000/715-HP/UX 10.20 (with egcs 1.1.1) - -Please email ben@orodu.net for other success reports. + See the COPYING file for a copy of the GNU General Public License.
