great job! I use arch/gnome. and I installed openbox but it did not work. can you send me a link that shows how to install and configure openbox?

@ibrahimalghamdi94 Hi! Notice that Openbox is a Window Manager, it manages ONLY your windows and decorations, nothing else! You can use it stand-alone or inside a Desktop Manager such as Gnome or KDE, in any case look for Openbox in the Archlinux Wiki, it's a big page with every kind of information you may need, from installation to fine tuning! Let me know my friend!

Could you tell me how you themed your man pages etc, do you have a config file i could have?

thanks.

[TheCellarGuardian]

@adam9575 Sure, for the prompt and the man pages open the page with all the comments on my video and search for ".bashrc", it's a sequence of 4 comments written 5 months ago, or take a look here (URL follows) wiki archlinux org / index php / General_Recommendations # Man_pages

Thanks dude, i could not use sound with xvid cap, has not been compiled in the latest binary is the message i get. Does your Xvidcap package support sound? if not what application did you use to overlay your audio?

[TheCellarGuardian]

@adam9575 No, it doesn't support audio recording, for my video I used the YouTUBE AudioSwap feature, you should give it a try, maybe you'll find a great song for your next video!

@yngvarbloodaxe Glad to hear that! All the best my friend!

A few months ago I was actually encouraged to use openbox on my Arch box by this video. Thanks. : )

@adam9575 Hi! I used xvidcap, but I think there are more performant softwares out there! The codec is mpeg4, the container is an .mpeg. (I'm not really into the video stuff, I hope not to have written nonsense!)
