ssdd: Simple Shutdown Dialog for Openbox

A simple Shutdown Dialog for Openbox written in C using GTK

Simple Shutdown Dialog (ssdd) is a simple yet stylish shutdown dialog for Openbox, crafted in C using GTK.

Why ssdd?

As a long-time Openbox enthusiast, I've always found the default exit dialog a bit lackluster. Modern systems deserve a more refined shutdown experience. While there are other options out there, I figured one more wouldn't hurt, right?

Inspired by the elegant ssd from Sawfish, I decided to create my own tailored solution for Openbox. This way, you can avoid the hassle of installing extra dependencies and enjoy a sleek shutdown dialog that complements your Openbox setup.

Features

  • Clean and Intuitive Interface: ssdd presents a clear choice between Shutdown, Reboot, Logout, and Exit options.
  • Clean and minimal code: ssdd is built on a clean and minimal codebase, making it easy to maintain, understand, and extend.
  • Lightweight and Efficient: ssdd is designed to be fast and resource-friendly, perfectly suited for Openbox's minimalist philosophy.

Dependencies and Compilation

ssdd requires:

  • GTK+ 3.0
  • Glib 2 development libraries
  • gcc or clang

Easy Compilation

Edit the Makefile or use the following commands:

% make all     # Compile
% sudo make install # Install to /usr/local
% sudo make install PREFIX=/usr # Install to /usr

Manual compilation

First generate the resources.

% glib-compile-resources resources.gresource.xml --generate-source --target=resources.c
% glib-compile-resources resources.gresource.xml --generate-header --target=resources.h

# Using GCC:
% gcc ssdd.c resources.c -o ssdd `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0`

# Using Clang:
% clang ssdd.c resources.c -o ssdd `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0`

Place the ssdd binary in your $PATH (e.g., ~/bin).

Integrate with Openbox

  1. Edit your Openbox menu:
% sudo nvim /etc/xdg/openbox/menu.xml
  1. Replace the default Exit entry with:
<item label="Log Out"><action name="Execute"><execute>ssdd</execute></action></item>
  1. Reconfigure Openbox:
% openbox --reconfigure
