1 Openbox works with your applications, and makes your desktop easier to manage.
|
|
al@17992
|
2 This is because the approach to its development was the opposite of what seems
|
|
al@17992
|
3 to be the general case for window managers. Openbox was written first to comply
|
|
al@17992
|
4 with standards and to work properly. Only when that was in place did the team
|
|
al@17992
|
5 turn to the visual interface.

|
7 Openbox is fully functional as a stand-alone working environment, or can be used
|
|
al@17992
|
8 as a drop-in replacement for the default window manager in the GNOME or KDE
|
|
al@17992
|
9 desktop environments.

11 Openbox 3 is a completely new breed of window manager. It is not based upon any
|
|
al@17992
|
12 existing code base, although the visual appearance has been based upon that of
|
|
al@17992
|
13 Blackbox. Openbox 2 was based on the Blackbox 0.65.0 codebase.
