No, the menu in the pic is MyGtkmenu. Openbox needs to be compiled with Imlib2, see here http://en.ogmaciel.com/icons-on-menus-for-openbox/ which this is not, so the tag does not work.

Ah, ok. Well compiling with imlib2 would definitely suit using tint2 as the panel. Interesting...

Anyways.. is there any pressing need to update? I'm not including tint2 in Slacko (though it is in the salix or slacky repo)

Not sure.. dragging windows around, 3.5 seems to update the display seamlessly, whereas in previous versions I was poor BUT running around 5 deg hotter.

It's working well in slacko, tint2 is there but hiding.

bump (more-or-less)

http://en.ogmaciel.com/icons-on-menus-for-openbox/ appears to be dead .. "The URL you requested could not be found." probably lost in the redirect's black bg

So far as I can tell, rootmenu icons seems to be an undocumented feature for the most part, officially anyway.

I'd imagine the syntax to be somewhat similar to fluxbox but in the ob xml style. Yeah, doubtless there's some extra(s) needed to compile it to accept icon tags for the rootmenu. Hard to say if obmenu-refresh could be redone to parse the relevant files for icons as well as the text for menu entries (that would be the logical script to do so).

Eventually this feature may find its way to actuality for puppy.
