A simple Shutdown Dialog for Openbox written in C using GTK
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Why?
|
|
|
|
Been using Openbox many many years and loving it. One of the main issue I have with it is its incredibly simple Exit dialog. On a modern system, a better solution is needed.
|
|
I guess there are many programs such as this one out there, but one more doesn't hurt, does it?
|
|
|
|
Anyway, I just bought a new laptop and on my workstation I was using [ssd from Sawfish](https://github.com/SawfishWM/ssd) which I loved. I didn't want to go through all the steps of installing the necessary libraries and dependencies to get it to work, so I decided to create my own.
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies and compilation
|
|
|
|
This app requires GTK+ 3.0, Glib 2 development libraries and gcc or clang.
|
|
|
|
To compile this program you can use `make` after you've edited `Makefile` or use the pre-defined options to install ssdd to `/usr/local`. The `Makefile` is pretty self explanatory.
|
|
|
|
To compile everything:
|
|
`make all`
|
|
|
|
To clean up:
|
|
`make clean`
|
|
|
|
To install:
|
|
`sudo make install`
|
|
|
|
Or if you want, you can compile it directly and copy the binary to a location in your `PATH`.
|
|
|
|
Using GCC:
|
|
```shell
|
|
% gcc ssdd.c resources.c -o ssdd `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0`
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Using Clang:
|
|
```shell
|
|
% clang ssdd.c resources.c -o ssdd `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0`
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This produces the binary `ssdd` which you can place in your $PATH. I place mine in `~/bin`. You can strip it but it'll only save you a few kilobytes, so it's basically unnecessary...
|
|
|
|
## Configure Openbox to use it.
|
|
|
|
`% sudo nvim /etc/xdg/openbox/menu.xml`
|
|
|
|
Find the line with the standard Openbox Exit option and change it to
|
|
|
|
`<item label="Log Out"><action name="Execute"><execute>ssdd</execute></item>`
|
|
|
|
The reconfigure Openbox to use the new setting.
|
|
|
|
`% openbox --reconfigure`
|
