an xdg root menu sort of thing for openbox
Here are a mess of a scripts that give you a xdg root menu, based on the xdg-menu. It is not very dynamic as you have to refresh it on changes. There is probably a way to automate this on package installation/removal or by editing with alacarte or similar.
The crux of it is to generate a menu file (rootmenu.xml) that is then read as a pipe menu ( ‘cat rootmenu.xml’ -> this was Mikachu’s idea). This makes it as quick as a normal menu as it is not built on demand, sort of like a cached pipemenu, and then set to display as your root menu, rather than a normal pipe sub menu. A couple of other files are included to make managing the menus easy.
Very vague instructions are included.
