I just have one question: I was not able to find a resource online that points out any special additions that openbox made to the styles format. I have been able to run blackbox styles without a single problem with openbox, so I'm assuming the basic configuration is the same. I was just wondering if there are any additions, tricks, etc. that openbox made to the style format. If so, could someone point me to some documentation on this, or possibly just list the additions?

Ok, thanks a lot! Originally, I looked through the manpage to setup my rc, only to find a nice help page on the Openbox, so I guess for some reason I assumed the manpage would not help me much with the styles. Shows how wrong I was...I'm just surprised I didn't get a "RTFM" for what now appears to be a very simple/ignorant question.  ; )
