No matter what I’ve tried visually so far, Plasma in the bright default with this background image is always what I come back to.

I case you missed them there were a few more Apollo themed wallpapers added to the community folder, use the welcome app to grab them!

Openbox is only a window manager. If you want a taskbar you must use one of the *bars: Tint2, polybar, lemonbar, even conky with dzen2 etc. The most common are tint2 and polybar.
You can find configs/themes and choose the one you like. Later you can learn how to customize them the way you want.
A few links: tint2 themes, polybar themes, more tint2 themes

I would remove the polybar too if I didn’t need to keep track of time. I just like using all the space that is available to me :slight_smile:

New wallpaper, bigger monitor and some tweaks on my dsp config file

Edit: i re-uploaded the first screenshot, i had added way too much opacity on the dock and i fixed that making it a bit more opaque but still translucent !

I did see that (cool that you made it!) but I wasn’t able to get the widget style or the bar to look as nice. I definitely will try again though.

you need to create a folder named “dsp” in home > .config and place the “dsp.conf” text file there

Style project is alive?! Used to work on it with TheRealRob (very small help by me, he made all of it) something like 10y ago. I was under the impression that it was dead but seems that I’m wrong (gladly I must add, it’s a very wonderful protect)

here something very old!
Man my english was very bad at the time! :scream:

Fresh installation with xfce. I played a little bit, I made a theme to remember the old days, and now back to openbox.

Openbox had “open”-ed vivid possibilities out of the “box” for you. :hugs:
