Arrows in the OpenBox Menu!

Hello everybody,
I would like the ASCII character / or image - ► - change in the OB menu. I just want to change the arrows in the menu, not all OB-theme!

Can one tell me how do I do that? I have all searched, all files of Openbox have occurred to me, but I have unfortunately found nothing.

Re: Arrows in the OpenBox Menu!

Add and/or edit image file bullet.xbm inside the folder that contains themerc for your Openbox theme.

Edit: filenames for window buttons and stuff

bullet.xbm
close_hover.xbm
close.xbm
desk_hover.xbm
desk_toggled.xbm
desk.xbm
iconify_hover.xbm
iconify.xbm
max_hover.xbm
max.xbm
shade_hover.xbm
shade.xbm
themerc

Re: Arrows in the OpenBox Menu!

Time to do some research, my theme only has:

~/.themes/S11-SR-71-Black/openbox-3/themerc

Nothing else.

http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Themes#Button_images

The xbm's which Openbox uses as its internal defaults are distributed with Openbox and installed to /usr/share/doc/openbox/xbm

...so OB will use its defaults if you haven't included any in the theme

I thought that is what happens, but I still had to search for where OB stores the defaults
