Hi.
I want to switch between different desktops in openbox. I did get a reply to this in the middle of 2012, here.
To increase the functionality and comfort I need to know:
- how to get information about the activated desktop
- how to get information about the numbers of available desktops
- how to increase the numbers of available desktops
I want to do all this for the Openbox WM using Bash - information for the use in different WMs could also be helpful (for maybe a later use in different WMs)
Thanks

Hi RSH; I`m not very learned about such things. Don`t know how to get info.
And I`d think installing them is the way to increase their numbers.
There`s got to be a mass of incompatibilities between them.
I`d think this would give a list of selected installed desktops:

Code: Select all
ls -1 /usr/bin |egrep '(gnome|kde|xfce|lxde)'
wmctrl ?
Copy/pasted from console: 8 desktops, active is number 7.
Code: Select all
