# ssdd
A simple Shutdown Dialog for Openbox written in C using GTK
![Project Screenshot](ssdd.png)
## Why?
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 development libraries and gcc or clang.
I am using this command to compile the program:
Using GCC:
```shell
% gcc ssdd.c -o ssdd `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0`
```
Using Clang:
```shell
% clang ssdd.c -o ssdd `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0`
```
This produces the binary `ssdd` which you can place in your $PATH.
## 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`
