xorg-xprop can be used to relay property values for selected applications. Where frequently using per-application settings, the following Bash Alias may be useful:
alias xp='xprop | grep "WM_WINDOW_ROLE\|WM_CLASS" && echo "WM_CLASS(STRING) = \"NAME\", \"CLASS\""'
To use Xorg-XProp, run using the alias
given xp
, and click on the active program desired to define with per-application settings. The results displayed will
only be the information that Openbox itself requires, namely the WM_WINDOW_ROLE
and WM_CLASS
(name and class) values:
WM_WINDOW_ROLE(STRING) = "roster"
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "gajim.py", "Gajim.py"
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "NAME", "CLASS"
