Openbox

Openbox is a standards compliant, fast, light-weight, extensible window manager. Openbox works with your applications, and makes your desktop easier to manage. This is because the approach to its development was the opposite of what seems to be the general case for window managers. Openbox was ... [More] written first to comply with standards and to work properly. Only when that was in place did the team turn to the visual interface. Openbox is fully functional as a stand-alone working environment, or can be used as a drop-in replacement for the default window manager in the GNOME or KDE desktop environments. [Less]

gsimplecal

Gsimplecal is a lightweight calendar application written in C++ using GTK2. It was intentionally made for use with tint2 panel in the openbox environment to be launched upon clock click, but of course it will work without it. In fact, binding the gsimplecal to some hotkey in you window manager ... [More] will probably make you happy. The thing is that when it is started it first shows up, when you run it again it closes the running instance. In that way it is very easy to integrate anywhere. No need to write some wrapper scripts or whatever. Also, you can configure it to not only show the calendar, but also display multiple clocks for different world timezones. [Less]

[More] script, by default it uses ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml as a config file containing keyboard setup. ./obkeyBut also you can specify other config file: ./obkey mycustomrc.xmlAlso, since it's a development version it will create a backup of the config file as + ".bak", only if it doesn't exist already.
