Totally customizing the Ob3 Menu

(Hopefully, the correct part of this Forum to Post this question)

I am using #!Statler Openbox (x32)

What I would like to do is totally customize the Openbox 'right-click' Menu without effecting the rest of the Theme.
I don't want to re-customize the whole theme, just the parts pertaining to the Menu.

By customizing, I mean the font, border, background colour, the 'active' and 'inactive' colours of the Ob right-click menu ... well, pretty much everything.

I would like to attempt this but, I'm not sure where to start?
I have searched in the Openbox Wiki and throughout this forum.

I would like to attempt this project over the next month or so.

I need your insight and direction.

Re: Totally customizing the Ob3 Menu

Look at the themerc for an Openbox theme. All the settings that affect the menu, begin with menu.

Example:

menu.title.bg: flat gradient vertical bevel1
menu.title.bg.color: #2B2B2B
menu.title.bg.colorTo: #2B2B2B
menu.title.text.color: #E6E6E6
menu.title.text.justify: center

menu.items.bg: flat solid
menu.items.bg.color: #3C3C3C
menu.items.text.color: #E6E6E6
menu.items.disabled.text.color: #575757

menu.items.active.bg: flat gradient vertical bevel1
menu.items.active.bg.color: #808080
menu.items.active.bg.colorTo:#777777
menu.items.active.text.color: #FFFFFF
menu.bullet.selected.image.color: #FFFFFF

menu.overlap: 0

menu.items.font:
menu.title.text.font:shadow=n:shadowtint=70

Re: Totally customizing the Ob3 Menu

Hey ... this works!!

I knew you'd have the answer anonymous ... thanks a bunch.

Now, I can be up all night paying with theOpenbox 'right'click Menu configuration.

I'll post what I've done with the Menu when I'm finished . . . but, will I ever truly be finished?
