dmenu screen position -Solved

Guys,

Alt-F3 brings up an application called dmenu along the bottom of the screen. I want this to open at the top of the screen instead but I can't find the configuration script to change the position and other parameters. Anyone know where I can find it?

Thanks,

John.

Looks like what you're looking for is ~/.config/dmenu/dmenu-bind.sh.  Should appear at the top (default position) if you remove "-b".

If you look in .config/openbox/rc.xml, you will see that alt-F3 runs a script called "dmenu-bind.sh" located in ~/.config/dmenu. This script passes position and other parameters to dmenu. Use "man dmenu" to see what these parameters are and what you should change in the dmenu-bind.sh script.

Wahaaaay,    ..removing the -b from  ~/.config/dmenu/dmenu-bind.sh did the job.

Thanks guys
