Openbox:Pipemenus:AudaciousControl

Revision as of 12:58, 5 April 2011

You can control audacious from openbox menu. It allows you to control audacious easily,even if audacious window is behind other windows. I use this pipemenu from keyboard shortcut or hotkey ,like "Super + m".

I'm grateful for very useful information and examples of pipe-menus written in this wiki. Enjoy...!

# Openbox Pipe Menu for audacious
# Feel free to change this script as you like.
# Probably, it's not so hard to make rhythembox or other media player control menus like this,
# as far as these media players support the CUI control commands.
