OpenBOX Workspace handling

[balanga]

I'm in the process of customising Openbox and am trying to get Workspaces handled the way Xfce4 does it, but can't figure out how.

Xfce4 which has four workspaces (initially) on the top line and you can select each by clicking. You can also drag apps from one workspace to another.

How can I add this functionality to Openbox?

via Openbox Configurator , obconf is the pkg name

I've looked at obconf but don't see an option for doing what I want.

Presumably obconf->Desktops... ?

 

[xchris]

yes its the "Desktops" section, (sorry I m not running o/box now to check)
Desktops == workspaces on Openbox

The default shortcut to get to next workspacei is ctl+alt+right-arrow. Default to send an application to the next desktop is
shft+alt+right-arrow

<keybind key="S-A-Right">
    <action name="SendToDesktop"><to>right</to><wrap>no</wrap></action>
  </keybind>

'Desktops' only has options for specifying the number of desktops and their names...

other config maybe

to send an app to other desktop, just right click on the top bar and is the first option on that menu.

Have someone tried to put a different wallpaper in each desktop?

Maybe tint2 does not provide an option for doing what I want... I'll try xfce4-panel instead...

What do you want? To send a window to other desktop? Is that it?
