Obmenu is a menu editor for Openbox and Wayland Openbox clones (like Waybox) written in Python. It allows you to edit menus in an intuitive way.
Python, PyGObject, GTK 3 >= 3.12 or GTK 4 >= 4.10 (set the OBMENU_GTK4 environment variable to use experimental GTK 4 support)
PyGObject 3 or higher is recommended, but older versions may also work. For Python 2.7 (not recommended) or older versions of Python 3, you'll need a PyGObect version less than 3.38.0. For GTK 4 support, you'll need PyGObject 3.40.0 or higher.
It should work with PyPy, but there are no guarantees. If you use PyPy, you'll need the equivalents of the Python versions specified above.
You no longer need pygtk and pyglade, required by the original Obmenu.
Type this command in a shell:
make install-user
or to install system-wide:
sudo make install
To just install the GSettings schema (required to remember the last opened menu file) to use Obmenu without installing it:
sudo make install-schema
- Bug fixes.
- Bug fixes.
- Translation framework.
- Keyboard mnemonics for the various fields.
- Modernized GTK 3 support.
- GTK 4 support.
- Waybox/GTK+ 3/Python 3 support.
- Automatically reconfigures Openbox
- Create and modify pipe menus. Pipe menus are a way of creating menus dynamically. For more info, visit Openbox documentation.
- The same with "link" menus, which are references to other menus by their IDs. That way you can reproduce a menu in several places of your file.
- Lots of GUI enhancements
- Multi-file support (New, Open, Save, ...)

Thanks to Mikael from the Openbox project, who gave me lots of ideas and tested the program. And thanks to all the helpful guys in the openbox list.
