We are creating a series of YouTube videos under the “edu-“ label to guide users through the migration from ArcoLinux to Arch Linux. These tutorials aim to make the transition process smoother by explaining each step clearly and providing practical examples. Whether you’re switching to gain more control or to learn vanilla Arch, our edu- videos are here to support your journey.

ArcoLinux has stopped

Teaching never stops—because learning is a lifelong journey for all of us.

How to give a shadow to the openbox menu

The compton.conf of openbox is in ~/.config/compton.conf.

Make a backup of that file and then experiment with its settings. You still have a backup in /etc/skel.

We delete a line that is holding the shadow back on the menu.

Look for the shadow-exclude part and delete this line

“! name~=””,

Then log out and log back in to apply the new compton settings.

We see that the conky gets a shadow too. 

Personally it looks nice but we show you how to get rid of that in the video.
