Kali Linux Menu for Openbox

If you use Kali Linux with Openbox and want to have the nice tools menu including icons, then you can grab it here.

NOTE:

If you want an icon-less version (for #! aka crunchbang) you can use the following command to remove the icons from the menu:

cat kali_menu.xml | sed 's/\sicon=".*"//g' > kali_menu-no_icons.xml

Requirements

rxvt-unicode

# Debian
sudo apt-get install rxvt-unicode-256color

# Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install rxvt-unicode

# Arch
sudo pacman -S rxvt-unicode

# CentOS
sudo yum install rxvt-unicode

Installation

1. Edit ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml

Find the <menu> Section (near bottom) and place <file>kali_menu.xml</file> somewhere into it.

<openbox_config>
    <menu>
        ...
        <file>kali_menu.xml</file>
        ...
    </menu>
</openbox_config>

2. Edit ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml

Place the following line at the position of the menu.xml where you want the kali menu to appear.

    <menu icon=".config/openbox/icons/kali_menu/kali-menu.png" id="/Kali"/>

3. Copy files

• Copy kali_menu.xml to ~/.config/openbox/kali_menu.xml
• Copy icons folder to ~/.config/openbox so that it looks like:

$ ls -l ~/.config/openbox/
