sry if a thread like this has already been made, a did a breif search but didnt see anything.
so, in the style of the conky thread, here's the openbox's rc.xml thread. (i suppose the menu.xmls might wanna sneak in here from time to time too)
at the very least, you'll be making a backup for yourself.
but i think most of us will see that the real benefit here is the sharing.
without much further ado, here's mine (+ elaboration).
since i went from 8 to 9.04, i learned it's wise to keep things tidy... so i've tried to make sure all the changes i add are marked within the same relevent heading, except with a "Digit's" infront of it. ( such as " <!-- Digit's Keybindings for window switching -->" added with my commands, as well as leaving the default " <!-- Keybindings for window switching -->" intact)
this makes it a touch easier for me to follow along with new versions as they come out, keep up to date with the default changes, and still be able to add in my own preferred keybinds in a easy copy&paste. also it should make it easier for anyone else to see what i've added.
there are likely at least a couple things somewhere that i added or changed that are not within those confines though.

not to sound too noobish, but could someone please post a copy of the original config file.

I added these binds I can just use my middle mouse button for minimizing/closing. My titlebar has no buttons
<mousebind button="Middle" action="Press">
<action name="Close"/>
</mousebind>
<mousebind button="Down" action="Click">
<action name="Iconify"/>

^ cunning, like it... I have to think to a way to do a buttonless window but only using a laptop touch pad.
I know that if I click left+right together it simulates a middle click, i'm just not sure what I'd use for iconify.

That's an xml file, and comments don't work the same as for shell scripts etc. You need to enclose the comments in html comment tags like this:
<!-- comment here -->
Now, it's possible your #comment type entries were safely ignored by openbox because they're outside the xml tags, but they could cause problems.

that's right! make any window transparent with only one click of a mouse. (..well, a key combo press first too).
much easier than navigating through menus when u need to see whats beneath a window while still seeing it.

I do believe this thread is a useful one but can we post just the important snippets and not the whole RC each time? It makes reading a bit tough when the whole RC is posted.
Or if you do post the whole thing maybe some form of highlighting of the important bits (not sure how you'd do that)

I think one of my favourite bits in my RC is this under the applications section at the bottom
<application name="swiftfox-bin">
<decor>no</decor>
Switfox (my web browser) opens fullscreen and undecorated so it does not waste any space.
~~
Also I make my terminal open to a nice widescreen format

That's an xml file, and comments don't work the same as for shell scripts etc. You need to enclose the comments in html comment tags like this:
<!-- comment here -->
Now, it's possible your #comment type entries were safely ignored by openbox because they're outside the xml tags, but they could cause problems.
Changed. Thanks, JR.
Told you I didn't know what I was doing!! It did work, tho.

I made these to emulate a couple of Windows 7 keybinds:
<keybind key="W-Left">
<action name="UnmaximizeFull"/>
<action name="MaximizeVert"/>
<action name="MoveResizeTo">
<width>640</width>
</action>
<action name="MoveToEdgeWest"/>
</keybind>
<keybind key="W-Right">
<action name="UnmaximizeFull"/>
<action name="MaximizeVert"/>
<action name="MoveResizeTo">
<width>640</width>
</action>
<action name="MoveToEdgeEast"/>
</keybind>
You should change the numbers based on your display resolution and any panels you have.

I wanted to open all apps without decor (7" netbookscreen):
not really knowing what I am doing.. – but I guessed right! for my netbook, I put this at the very end of rc.xml (just before the </applications> tag:
<application name="*">
<decor>no</decor>
</application>
not wasting any screen anymore on buttons! to get rid of the remaining thin borders (otherwise tint and conky look strange), untick window borders in the openbox GUI Config Tool. Now I close windows with alt+f4, move and resize with alt+left/right mouse button if need be.
but fullscreening all apps works not too good maybe I try maximize.. what's the difference between the both?
good thread – bookmark'd!

When you maximize an app, the decorations stay and it doesn't cover panels. When you fullscreen the app, decorations are removed and the app will cover panels.
Offline
^ thanks, after some thinking about it,I came to that conclusion too. so no decor plus maximize is pretty good for me with small screen. most apps that need being maximized seem already maximized here, though.

I just added the ability to start certain gtk applications in maximised state:

<application name="abiword">
<maximized>yes</maximized>
</application>

One of the things I do with Openbox is have it type text into input boxes such as web browsers, web forms, email, or terminals.
For example I arrange Windows F1 to type my email address and W-F2 my personal home page. To do this I run a X winodw event generating programs such as "xte" from the "xautomation" package, or "xmacroplay" from the "xmacro" package.
The big trick is that before the 'macro' is performed you must pause to give the user time to release the 'windows' or any other shift key. If you don't the macro gets 'typed' in with that same shift still in play.
Here for example is my URL macro...
<keybind key="W-F2">
<action name="Execute">
<command>bash -c "xte 'usleep 500000' \\\
'str http://www.cit.griffith.edu.au/'`printf '\176'`'anthony/'"
</command>
</action>
</keybind>
Note the big 'usleep' delay option in the "xte" command. That is a 1/2 second delay. The other point is the use of a "printf" to output a tilde '~' character, which also then requires the use of a "bash" shell wrapper. In older OpenBox ~ would expand to the location of the users home ANYWHERE it appeared! This was fixed in later releases.
For more information on generating keyboard macros, and the problems of 'shift' keys, see my notes
http://www.cit.griffith.edu.au/~anthony … ndling.txt
And yes the first part of this URL was typed into the forum reply text box using that same macro!

Another addition I have in my Openbox rc.xml file is some hotkeys to lookup information about some text I highlight with my mouse.
Basically it calls a script I wrote more than 15 years ago (and updated as appropriate) which first looks up the highlighted text using "xselection". It then create a URL and calls my web browser to display that URL.
basically it means I could highlight a URL and press F12 to do to it, even if no 'link' is provided.
Or highlight like some application name, or error message, and press F11 to google for it. or Ctrl-F11 to look it up on Wikipedia!
The text can come from anywhere. Email, Web pages, Terminals, Pop-up error messages, Chat, etc. I do not have to rely on any specific application to make a 'link', I just highlight and do it.
The program is called "www_ctrl" and you can download and modify it from
http://www.cit.griffith.edu.au/~anthony … /#www_ctrl
(Yes I used the W-F2 key again here :-)
Here is the Openbox rc.xml snipt...
<!--
Keybindings for Web Browsing
-->
<keybind key="F11">
<action name="Execute">
<command>www_ctrl -s</command> <!-- google -->
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="s-F11">
<action name="Execute">
<command>www_ctrl -si</command> <!-- google image -->
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="c-F11">
<action name="Execute">
<command>www_ctrl -wp</command> <!-- wikipedia -->
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="F12">
<action name="Execute">
<command>www_ctrl</command> <!-- goto URL -->
</action>
</keybind>
yes I know things like Gnome does some things like this with special multi-media buttons (specifically F12 - goto URL). But you don't have much control, and you can expand it or modify it as you needs change.
The combination of Openbox and the "www_crtl" script does let you expand and modify as things change, or use other search engines or information source. For example send the highlighted data to dictionary/thesaurus/spelling site? Or if you deal with some foreign language a translation site. It is just a matter of having the script compose the right URL from the highlighted data and passing it to firefox (or whatever).
Let me know what additions you come up with.

Using keypad 1,3,7,9 to move and resize active window to respectively bottom left, bottom right, top left, top right corner. Adjust to you screen resultion (it would be coool to automatically get screen resolution from e.g. xrandr and then divide by half - but I don't know how to do this)
It took me a short while to figure out that keypad 3 was KP_3 and not just 3 - but thank you google and gentoo forums :-)

@achristoffersen - you do know your code always makes your windows the same size: 950*540? I don't know if you did that on purpose.
