# On setting up a graphical user interface on the Raspberry Pi of Anguish
### 20180618
Raspbian by default has LXDE and openbox as its desktop environment and window manager. I am okay with this, it is resourse light and customizable. I spent some time tweaking colors, fonts, sizes, etc. and then dove into the config file to make my muscle memory not have to retrain,
First was eliminating Super_L mapped to lxmenuctl. I hate the windows key being lost for mappings as in i3wm on my thinkpad, windows+return is mapped to xterm. Next came mapping that same combo to that same app.
Next is a mapping to maximize with no window decoration, found this online, thanks to whomever posted this!
(in ~/.config/openbox/lxde-pi-rc.xml)
` <keyboard>
...
<keybind key="C-e">
<action name="If">
<maximized>yes</maximized>
<then>
<action name="Unmaximize"/>
<action name="Decorate"/>
</then>
<else>
<action name="Maximize"/>
<action name="Undecorate"/>
</else>
</action>
</keybind>
...`
Many small edits and mappings to launch other programs such as tkremind and claws, and I am fairly satisfied.
