 Openbox supports themes through a single file using syntax specific to the window manager. Several default themes are provided, they can be selected via Obconf and are found in ///usr/share/themes//. Each system user can install their own themes in the directory //~/.themes// either manually or via Obconf. If you want to create your own themes for SliTaz, then the easiest way is to copy and rename an existing theme and then edit the file //themerc//. Optional themes can also use images for buttons, icons, etc. These images can be created or modified via an image editor such as the Gimp or mtpaint. Openbox supports themes through a single file using syntax specific to the window manager.

-The subumenus are defined at the end of the file using the menu tag. The tag menu can use a pipe to display the menu entries, ie. a script that creates entries on the fly. SliTaz offers by default a pipe menu that allows you to directly open your Favorites folder with the file manager PCmanFM. The script is found in ///usr/lib/openbox// and can be used as an example. +
  
 ===== Applications started automatically ===== ===== Applications started automatically =====
  
-When starting in graphical mode, Openbox allows many applications to start automatically via the //~/.config/Openbox/autostart.sh// script. By default, using this script, SliTaz starts the file manager PCmanFM for the management of screen and desktop icons, the panel (LXpanel) for the menu, and dbus and Ivman for the management of devices or media such as USB keys. To add or remove applications launched at startup of the session, you can edit the script or use the small SliTaz GUI located in the menu //"Preferences" → "Auto started applications"// : +When starting in graphical mode, Openbox allows many applications to start automatically via the \\
