as posted in "op" i want lxde's main menu as a sub menu in my openbox's root menu
Re: auto-updating openbox menu lxde mint11
LXDE uses "xdg menu" to generate the menus. Openbox not. So you need a "translator".try_alls wrote:I want LXDEs main menu as a sub menu in my Openbox root menu.
The wiki of Openbox list some under XDG Application Menus.
The one that fits your needs most is probably "Openbox-menu".
