al@17992 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.
al@17992 6
al@17992 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.
al@17992 10
al@17992 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.
al@17992 14
al@17992 15 Some of the things to look for in Openbox are:
al@18598 16
al@17992 17 * ICCCM and EWMH compliance!
al@17992 18 * Very fast
al@17992 19 * Chainable key bindings
al@17992 20 * Customizable mouse actions
al@17992 21 * Window resistance
al@17992 22 * Multi-head Xinerama support!
al@17992 23 * Pipe menus
