【ubuntu】install openbox+tint2+bmenu on ubuntu12.04.4

原文地址： http://ndever.net/articles/linux/install-openbox-ubuntu-1304-1310

openbox是我用过的轻量窗口中最好用的了。

Step One -安装必要的包

需要安装下面的包. There's a myriad of other packages we could of used but these works for me:

• openbox - Window manager
• obmenu - Openbox GUI menu editor
• obconf - Openbox GUI configuration tool
• tint2 - Task bar
• volti - System tray volume control application
• xfce4-mixer - Volume control application
• xfce4-power-manager - Power management utility
• nitrogen - Wallpaper picker and renderer
• clipit - Clipboard manager
• gmrun - Lightweight application launcher with auto complete functions
• gksu - gksudo because we're going to need it later

在终端中运行：

sudo apt-get install openbox obmenu obconf tint2 volti xfce4-mixer xfce4-power-manager nitrogen clipit gmrun gksu dmenu

 dmenu用来自定义keybinding，先安装上吧。

Step Two -配置

修补nautilus使之能用于openbox

Nautilus doesn't play nicely with Openbox it likes to override the Openbox desktop with the Gnome desktop whenever its opened. To stop the Gnome desktop starting when nautilus starts paste this into the terminal.

sudo gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false; gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false;

 

Openbox自动启动脚本

Openbox runs a bash script each time you log in, simply add any applications you want to auto-start to this script.

Create the Openbox config directory.

mkdir ~/.config/openbox

 然后

gedit ~/.config/openbox/autostart

 and paste in.

## Openbox autostart
## ====================
## Note*: some programs, such as 'nm-applet' are run via XDG auto-start.
## Run '/usr/lib/openbox/openbox-xdg-autostart --list' to list any
## XDG autostarted programs.
 
## GNOME PolicyKit and Keyring
/usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 &
eval $(gnome-keyring-daemon -s --components=pkcs11,secrets,ssh,gpg) &
 
 
#Starts Nitogen and restore wallpaper from previous session
nitrogen --restore &
 
# start up the tint2 task bar
tint2 &
 
# Start up power management
xfce4-power-manager &
 
# Start the Clipboard manager after 3 seconds wait
(sleep 3s && clipit) &
 
# start volume manager after 3 seconds
(sleep 3s && volti) &

 

制作登出/重启/关机窗口

没有现成的logout解决方案，所以要自己用python脚本写一个。

终端：

gksudo gedit /usr/bin/cb-exit

 paste in。

#!/usr/bin/env python
 
import pygtk
pygtk.require('2.0')
import gtk
import os
import getpass
 
class cb_exit:
  def disable_buttons(self):
    self.cancel.set_sensitive(False)

    self.suspend.set_sensitive(False)
    self.reboot.set_sensitive(False)
    self.shutdown.set_sensitive(False)
 
  def cancel_action(self,btn):
    self.disable_buttons()
    gtk.main_quit()
 
  def logout_action(self,btn):
    self.disable_buttons()
    self.status.set_label("Exiting Openbox, please standby...")
    os.system("openbox --exit")
 
  def suspend_action(self,btn):
    self.disable_buttons()
    self.status.set_label("Suspending, please standby...")
    os.system("cb-lock")
    os.system("dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=\"org.freedesktop.UPower\" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend")
    gtk.main_quit()
 
  def reboot_action(self,btn):
    self.disable_buttons()
    self.status.set_label("Rebooting, please standby...")
    os.system("dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=\"org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit\" /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Restart")
 
  def shutdown_action(self,btn):
    self.disable_buttons()
    self.status.set_label("Shutting down, please standby...")
    os.system("dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=\"org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit\" /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop")
 
  def create_window(self):
    self.window = gtk.Window()
    title = "Log out " + getpass.getuser() + "? Choose an option:"
    self.window.set_title(title)
    self.window.set_border_width(5)
    self.window.set_size_request(500, 80)
    self.window.set_resizable(False)
    self.window.set_keep_above(True)
    self.window.stick
    self.window.set_position(1)
    self.window.connect("delete_event", gtk.main_quit)
    windowicon = self.window.render_icon(gtk.STOCK_QUIT, gtk.ICON_SIZE_MENU)
    self.window.set_icon(windowicon)
 
     
    #Create HBox for buttons
    self.button_box = gtk.HBox()
    self.button_box.show()
     
    #Cancel button
    self.cancel = gtk.Button(stock = gtk.STOCK_CANCEL)
    self.cancel.set_border_width(4)
    self.cancel.connect("clicked", self.cancel_action)
    self.button_box.pack_start(self.cancel)
    self.cancel.show()
     
    #Logout button
    self.logout = gtk.Button("_Log out")
    self.logout.set_border_width(4)
    self.logout.connect("clicked", self.logout_action)
    self.button_box.pack_start(self.logout)
    self.logout.show()
     
    #Suspend button
    self.suspend = gtk.Button("_Suspend")
    self.suspend.set_border_width(4)
    self.suspend.connect("clicked", self.suspend_action)
    self.button_box.pack_start(self.suspend)
    self.suspend.show()
     
    #Reboot button
    self.reboot = gtk.Button("_Reboot")
    self.reboot.set_border_width(4)
    self.reboot.connect("clicked", self.reboot_action)
    self.button_box.pack_start(self.reboot)
    self.reboot.show()
     
    #Shutdown button
    self.shutdown = gtk.Button("_Power off")
    self.shutdown.set_border_width(4)
    self.shutdown.connect("clicked", self.shutdown_action)
    self.button_box.pack_start(self.shutdown)
    self.shutdown.show()
     
    #Create HBox for status label
    self.label_box = gtk.HBox()
    self.label_box.show()
    self.status = gtk.Label()
    self.status.show()
    self.label_box.pack_start(self.status)
     
    #Create VBox and pack the above HBox's
    self.vbox = gtk.VBox()
    self.vbox.pack_start(self.button_box)
    self.vbox.pack_start(self.label_box)
    self.vbox.show()
     
    self.window.add(self.vbox)
    self.window.show()
     
  def __init__(self):
    self.create_window()
 
 
def main():
    gtk.main()
 
if __name__ == "__main__":
    go = cb_exit()
    main()

 don't forget to make cb-exit executable

sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/cb-exit

 

Openbox菜单 - root menu

The Openbox menu system is probable the biggest challenge for new users. Unlike the old gnome menu system Openbox doesn't auto populate the menu with all your installed apps. Each item needs to be entered into an xml file either manually or via the GUI tool (obmenu).

The default menu is very basic so we'll replace it with something a little better.

gedit ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml

 paste in.

 Don't forget to install & config "bmenu"

安装使用轻量启动器dmenu，来支持keybinding

step 1.安装

sudo apt-get install dmenu

 

step2.配置

sudo mkdir ~/.config/dmenu
sudo gedit ~/.config/dmenu/dmenu-bind.sh

paste in：

#!/bin/bash
exe=`dmenu_path | dmenu -b -nb '#151617' -nf '#d8d8d8' -sb '#d8d8d8' -sf '#151617'` && eval "exec $exe"

make dmenu-bind.sh to executable

sudo chmod +x ~/.config/dmenu/dmenu-bind.sh

 最后，任何时候 你都可以用

gedit ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml

 或用

obmenu

 来修改GUI menu（root-menu）

配置Tint2

Tint2 is themed and configure via ~/.config/tint2/tint2rc. It's fairly self explanatory however the tint2 documentation is well worth a read or you can get some ideas on the Archbang tint2rc thread.

We'll replace the default tint2 config with something better.

Create the Tint2 config directory.

mkdir ~/.config/tint2

 then

gedit ~/.config/tint2/tint2rc

 paste in

# Tint2 config file

# Background definitions

# ID 1
rounded = 0
border_width = 0
background_color = #000000 100

Step 3 - 主题化 Openbox

The default Openbox themes aren't great. You can find something more up to date at Boxlook or DeviantART.

Once you'r download a theme place it into either ~/.themes or /usr/share/themes.

Now run.

obconf

 

Themeing GTK 2

I used to use lxappearance to set GTK themes however as of 12.10 it seems to be broken. For now its got to be done manually.

Again the themes go into either ~/.themes or /usr/share/themes.

gedit ~/.gtkrc-2.0

gtk-theme-name= "Ambiance" gtk-icon-theme-name= "Humanity" gtk-font-name= "Ubuntu 11" gtk-cursor-theme-name= "DMZ-White" gtk-cursor-theme-size=0 gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_ICONS gtk-toolbar-icon-size=GTK_ICON_SIZE_SMALL_TOOLBAR gtk-button-images=1 gtk-menu-images=1 gtk- enable -event-sounds=0 gtk- enable -input-feedback-sounds=0 gtk-xft-antialias=1 gtk-xft-hinting=1 gtk-xft-hintstyle= "hintslight" gtk-xft-rgba= "rgb"

Change the value of gtk-theme-name to you'r themes name.

gtk-theme-name= "YOURTHEMENAME"

Themeing GTK 3

Yet again the themes go into either ~/.themes or /usr/share/themes.

gedit ~/.config /gtk-3 .0 /settings .ini
