Windows have rounded corners, I want normal windows

This version (Carbon) has weird corners with rounded edges, I just want normal windows like Blackbox always used to have. I only use Openbox because Blackbox isn't easy to install.

How can I get just normal  windows.  Please help I can not stand these weird windows Totally bizarre.

Also,  how can I get just a normal menu with icons, I want only text.

Thank You Very Much, Any help is much appreciated.

Re: Windows have rounded corners, I want normal windows

Hi @erichbf, the round corners are added by the compositor picom.
Apart from corners, it handles some other things like transparency and drop shadows.
If you don't need any of that you can just disable the compositor:
menu > User Settings > Compositor > Disable Compositor
If you like the result and want to make it permanent:
menu > User Settings > BunsenLabs Session >Edit autostart
Comment-out the line 'bl-compositor --start' with a #

# bl-compositor --start

If you want to keep transparency and drop-shadows and just stop the round corners, then:
menu > User Settings > Compositor > Edit Compositing Settings
Find the 'corner-radius' line and set it to 0:

corner-radius = 0

---
To disable icons in the menu:
menu > User Settings > jgmenu > Edit Menu Settings
Find the line 'icon_size' and set it to 0:

icon_size           = 0
