Aakash specific changes

1. To disable edge resize(top right corner) and top resize in openbox windows edit the file ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml, and look for this section and update the content of action name filed to Focus as shown

   ....
      <context name="Top">
   <mousebind button="Left" action="Press">
     <action name="Focus"/>
     <action name="Raise"/>
     <action name="Unshade"/>
   </mousebind>
   <mousebind button="Left" action="Drag">
     <action name="Focus">
      <context name="Right">
   <mousebind button="Left" action="Press">
    <action name="Focus"/>
     <action name="Raise"/>
   </mousebind>
   <mousebind button="Left" action="Drag">
     <action name="Focus">
       <edge>right</edge>
       <context name="TRCorner">
   <mousebind button="Left" action="Press">
     <action name="Focus"/>
     <action name="Raise"/>
     <action name="Unshade"/>
   </mousebind>
   <mousebind button="Left" action="Drag">
     <action name="Close"/>
   ....
   

   Reconfigure openbox to see the effect

   openbox --reconfigure
   

2. To open all windows maximized except dialogs & onboard keyboard add this content in the same above file

   <applications>
   
   <application class="*">
   <maximized>yes</maximized>
   </application>
   
   <application type="dialog">
   <maximized>no</maximized>
   </application>
   
   <application name="onboard">
   <maximized>no</maximized>
   </application>
   
   </applications>
   

   In this case we have to reload openbox or reload lxdm

   sudo service lxdm restart
   

3. To increase the width of menu items edit gtk2.0 theme found in /usr/share/themes/xyzTheme/gtk-2.0/gtkrc. Example

   xthickness = 5
   ythickness = 9
   engine "clearlooks"
      {
              radius = 15.0
      }
   
   “clearlooks-menubar”
    xthickness = 10
    ythickness = 5
