obapps3

OBApps (by Eric Bohlman) 2to3ed, works with Python3, wxPython4

A graphical editor for Openbox application settings.

To install:

• sudo python setup.py install, or just put obapps somewhere on your path and make sure it's executable

Requires:

• Python3, wxPython4, python-xlib

Usage notes:

• OBApps uses ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml (or the config-file Openbox was started with) by default. You can specify another file as an argument, e.g. obapps.py .config/openbox/myrc.xml

• Enter or change the name, class, role, or type settings by clicking in their entries in the listbox.

• Using the Find button to get settings by clicking on a window changes the settings for the CURRENTLY SELECTED item in the listbox; it does not add a new entry unless nothing is highlighted. You'll usually want to use the New button to create a new item first.

• Blank entries for name/class/role/type are ignored. If you want any of those fields to be stored as literally blank attributes (e.g. to match only a window with a blank role), enter "" or '' in the field.

• Changes are written to the rc.xml file only when the apply button is used. Openbox will automatically be reconfigured when this is done (as of version 0.1.2).

Bugs/limitations:

• Since this code is very preliminary, make sure to back up your rc.xml file before using obapps3.
