Tip: icons can still be disabled in obmenu-generatorAUR, even where enabled in ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml.

obmenu-generatorAUR is highly recommended despite being an unofficial package. With the ability to be used as a static or dynamic menu, it is highly configurable, powerful, and versatile. Menu categories and individual entries may also be easily hidden, customised, and/or added with ease. The official homepage provides further information and screenshots.

Below is an example of how obmenu-generator would be dynamically executed without icons in ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<openbox_menu>

    <menu id="root-menu" label="OpenBox 3" execute="/usr/bin/obmenu-generator">

    </menu>

</openbox_menu>

To automatically iconify entries, the -i option would be added:

<menu id="root-menu" label="OpenBox 3" execute="/usr/bin/obmenu-generator -i">
