NAME

       Openbox - standards compliant, fast, light-weight, extensible window manager.

SYNOPSIS

       openbox [options]

DESCRIPTION

       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 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.

       Openbox 3 is a completely new breed of window manager. It is not based upon any existing
       code base, although the visual appearance has been based upon that of Blackbox. Openbox 2
       was based on the Blackbox 0.65.0 codebase.
