			[http://openbox.org/ Openbox] is a highly configurable, next generation window manager with extensive standards support. OpenBox is lightweight and very fast. Pnd download here [[http://repo.openpandora.org/includes/download.php?app=switchguiopenbox]]


	Openbox for the Pandora aims to provide a GUI that's quick, responsive, and highly configurable. The PND (Switch GUI: Openbox) installs a number of components - namely: the window manager itself; the "Warlock Bar" for launching PNDs you've placed in pandora/apps or pandora/menu, and "tint2" - a panel that provides a taskbar, system tray, clock, and battery indicator. Configuration for each component is typically done by editing text files, or by using a graphical application that will edit the files for you, and let you preview the results.

Line 660 onwards of rc.xml shows that XFCE's terminal is always launched maximized, and - commented out - how jumanji can be launched fullscreen, and how the size, position and appearance of applications can be controlled.

	By default, the Warlock Bar is started along with the window manager. To change this, edit $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/openbox/autostart (Root Menu -> Config -> Edit autostart). You can also change whether it appears or not via Root Menu -> Toggle Warlock Bar. The bar's contents are auto-generated at startup by merging the file at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/openbox/wbar_custom.cfg with a config created from the PNDs installed in pandora/apps or pandora/desktop (or - more accurately, it's created from the .desktop files in $HOME/Desktop). You can add or remove other entries by choosing Root Menu -> Config -> Edit wbar_custom.cfg, and change it's appearance by editing the first entry in that file (e.g. changing the second line to "c: wbar --bpress --pos right --vbar --isize 48 --idist 15 --nanim 4 --falfa 65" would put a vertical bar on the right of the screen).
