Firefox

Mozilla based browsers may ignore application rules (e.g. <desktop>) unless class="Firefox" is used. See #Xprop values for applications.

Missing themes

If for any reason the newly extracted theme cannot be selected, open the theme directory to first ensure that it is compatible with Openbox - there should be an openbox-3 directory and a themerc file within it. An .obt (OpenBox Theme) file may also be present in some instances, which can then be manually loaded in obconf.

A theme may also be not accessible due to wrong permissions. See File permissions and attributes for more.

Stop continuous desktop switching

By default Openbox switches from the last desktop back to the first desktop on mouse wheel scroll. Use <wrap>no</wrap> in the mousebind section to disable this behaviour.

   <context name="Desktop">

     <mousebind button="Up" action="Click">

       <action name="GoToDesktop">

         <to>previous</to>

         <wrap>no</wrap>

       </action>

     </mousebind>

     <mousebind button="Down" action="Click">

       <action name="GoToDesktop">

         <to>next</to>

         <wrap>no</wrap>

       </action>

     </mousebind>

   </context>
