• Battery Indicator
  Because on the tint2 panel I turned off the battery status. Alternatively, install xfce4-power-manager and turn it on ~/.config/openbox/autostart then enable system tray icon in xfce4-power-manager-settings.

• Dunst Action: Default Web Browser (middle click)
  ~/.config/dunst/dunstrc-left
~/.config/dunst/dunstrc-right
~/.config/dunst/dunstrc-dark-left
~/.config/dunst/dunstrc-dark-right

  ...
  
  browser = google-chrome-stable
  
  ...

• Screenshots (now, select/draw, timer)
  ~/.scripts/shot-now
~/.scripts/shot-seldraw
~/.scripts/shot-timer

  ...
  
  savedir=~/Pictures
  bordercolor="#ffffff"
  sec="5"
  
  ...

• Root Privileges (SUID)

  • poweroff
  • reboot
  • brightnessctl
  • others if needed

  sudo chmod u+s $(where {poweroff,reboot,brightnessctl})

  For brightnessctl I recommend adding users to the group video.

• Default Lockscreen
  ~/.config/openbox/lockscreen

• Tray
  ~/.config/openbox/tray

• URxvt Icon
  ~/.Xresources

  ...
  
  URxvt.iconFile:                   /home/username/.icons/gladient/term.png

• Tint2 Network Status (interface)
  ~/.config/tint2/executor/network

  ...
  
  intwifi="wlan0"
  intether="eth0"
  
  ...

• Neofetch Image (w3m)
  ~/.config/neofetch/config.conf

  ...
  
  # Image Source
  #
  # Which image or ascii file to display.
  #
  # Default:  'auto'
  # Values:   'auto', 'ascii', 'wallpaper', '/path/to/img', '/path/to/ascii', '/path/to/dir/'
  #           'command output (neofetch --ascii "$(fortune | cowsay -W 30)")'
  # Flag:     --source
  #
  # NOTE: 'auto' will pick the best image source for whatever image backend is used.
  #       In ascii mode, distro ascii art will be used and in an image mode, your
  #       wallpaper will be used.
  image_source="auto"
  #image_source="${HOME}/.config/neofetch/arch.png"

• MPD Music Directory
  ~/.mpd/mpd.conf

  ...
  
  music_directory     "~/Music/"

• Ncmpcpp Music Directory
  ~/.ncmpcpp/config
~/.ncmpcpp/albumart
~/.ncmpcpp/albumart-only
~/.ncmpcpp/albumart-viz

  ...
  
  mpd_music_dir = "~/Music/"

How to use ncmpcpp albumart?
It's easy, put album|cover|folder|artwork|front.jp?g|png|gif|bmp into folder with song album. Recommended image size is 500px ( 1:1 ) or more. See keybinds

Please don't underrate, I've configured them all since April 2020 and have been stuDYING them since October 2019. Awesome open-source. If you support it, star it or make a PR. Or if there is a problem with configuration you can make an issue here.

Thank you!
