How to modify the context menu in JustX

Hello there,

With JustX installed, when right clicking somewhere in the screen, the following menu is displayed:

Create a new file or folder
Run application
---------------------------
Favorite Applications     >
Open Folder               >
Desktop Effects           >
SliTaz Live               >
Openbox                   >
Desktops                  >
---------------------------
Logout

I'd like to modify/suppress some options in this menu but I don't find what file I have to modify.

Can someone tell me?

Many thanks.

Re: How to modify the context menu in JustX

Usually PCmanFM takes care of the desktop menu. But in JustX, without PCmanFM installed, the menu is provided by Openbox and I don't think there's a convenient desktop application to edit it.

Have a look in /etc/xdg/openbox/menu.xx.xml ... there you can edit the menu globally and when you copy the file to /home/tux/.config/openbox/... you can edit the menu on a per-user base.

Obmenu is a gui for editing menu.xml

Requires many dependencies not installed on JustX.

[c]tazpkg -gi obmenu[/c]

[c]obmenu[/c]

@ Darjeeling,

Thanks for your answer. I already did have a look at /etc/xdg/openbox/menu.en.xml but I can see only Favorite applications, Desktop effects, SliTaz live and Openbox submenus in it

@ mojo,

Thanks. I'm going to try it.

Re: How to modify the context menu in JustX

@ mojo,

Obmenu works fine and easy to use.

But you're right, really too much dependencies for a JustX install.

I finally found the menu I searched for in menu.xml; I didn't notice the [c]root-menu[/c] at the end of the file.

All is fine now

Thanks both of you.
