===== Openbox Menu Generator =====

Openbox Menu Generator generates a static or dynamic menu, with or without icons, a pipe menu for Openbox window manager.

It can be used instead of the standard Debian menu.

==== Installation ====

    sudo apt-get install obmenu-generator

==== Alternate installation method ====

Install dependencies:

    sudo apt-get install build-essential cpanminus git

Install the generator:

    git clone git://github.com/trizen/obmenu-generator
    sudo cp obmenu-generator/obmenu-generator /usr/bin
    sudo cp -r obmenu-generator/schema.pl ~/.config/obmenu-generator/
    sudo cpanm Linux::DesktopFiles
    sudo cpanm Data::Dump
    sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/obmenu-generator

**Run the generator in a terminal**

Dynamic menu with icons:

    obmenu-generator -p -i

Static menu with icons:

    obmenu-generator -s -i


The older menu will be moved from the file:

    ~HOME/.config/openbox/menu.xml

to the backup file:

    ~HOME/.config/openbox/menu.xml.bak

{{:obmenu-generator.png?200|}}

==== Troubleshooting ====

If the menu creation stops or doesn't work at all, after fresh Sparky installation:

1. Remove its configuration folder with all the files:

   rm -rf ~HOME/.config/obmenu-generator

2. Re-install it:

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install --reinstall obmenu-generator
