BLOB - BunsenLabs Openbox Configuration Manager (needs testing )

Latest Alpha release on github: BLOB v1.1.2-alpha

If conky or tint2 are not selected to be saved for the config, they are hidden for the screenshot.
^ And fixed the pesky bug

Just a little aside here , will BLOB be included on the next iso release !

It depends on `yad`, which is likely to be in `jessie-backports`, so may not be included in the iso depending on what is decided about backported apps.

It is likely to be available from our repos though.

Thanx for the comeback Cptn , can yad backport be included in BL iso install &/or have jessie-backport included on iso repo somehow on next BL release !

I've added a github branch, with a Terminator config option, if you want to test it

blobblobblob...
You code faster than I find time to test!

edit - some yad errors, doesn't look dangerous:

^ One of those errors is due to gtk, and is thrown up by many applications, so I ignore it.

The `XGetWindowProperty` happens when there is a call to show the conkys after hiding them for the screenshot. No harm done afaics, so I haven't bothered trying to track it down yet.

I guess this is not relevant since I don't strictly use BL but a Postbang thingy. I set the background with feh, but I need to re-login to get the background restored.

Maybe I'm asking too much, but what about saving bash colors too?

feh works for me - the bg is changed immediately, so I don't know what is happening at your end. But while checking the code, I see a way to make it neater (and may make a difference for you?): around line #1023, change

#eval $(cat ~/.fehbg)
source $HOME/.fehbg

Bash colours - should be easy enough, but how often do people change terminal colours with theme changes? (Is it just a question of saving ~/.bashrc? I can't remember!). Terminator config holds the terminal palette, and can now be saved BTW.

Nili · 2015-11-03 15:43:44

my 2 cents regarding feh,
i use two simple commands on my .xinitrc

#make randomized images wallpaper on every log-in from tokyog directory

feh --randomize --bg-scale ~/tokyog/*

#set static image on every log-in or exit/re-join wm

feh --bg-scale ~/pictures/wallpapers/pink_anime_train_by_onlytheghosts-d8sdupp.jpg

That did it. It works now. Thanks, damo.

Don't they? Well... I'm a bit of a geek then, LOL. I guess not many BL users use X apps like, urxvt, xcalc, xpdf, xclock, etc... That's when changing the Xcolors makes all the sense. Maybe for BL is overkill.

Just for the record, they can be in ~/.bashrc but more typically they live in ~/.Xresources with the rest of the X apps settings. After saving the changes bash should be re-sourced for the new settings to take effect.

source ~/.bashrc

That should be easy to implement - "Save Xresources" sound OK?

Snap · 2015-11-03 19:59:34

Good for me, but maybe I'm the only one wanting that.

damo · 2015-11-03 22:42:32

@Snap

Try out this version (it saves/restores .bashrc & .Xresources): blobthemes (github `termcol` branch)

It makes a backup of the files before restoring over them BTW

Snap · 2015-11-04 08:52:47

So cool! Thanks, damo!

Excellent, thank you!

For zsh & .Xdefaults users:

sed -i 's/Xresources/Xdefaults/g' blobthemes
sed -i 's/bashrc/zshrc/g' blobthemes
