center-windows - centers all windows and also houses the code for the automatic Suspend To RAM (provided by Starbuntu)

center-windows

The window manager OpenBox used in Starbuntu doesn't unfortunately offer the feature "center all windows".

The Starbuntu program center-windows provides a remedy here by caring for an additional entry in the OpenBox configuration file $HOME/.config/openbox/rc.xml and thus enables window centering with the exception of the Tint2 panel.

You can control the effectivity of this program with the Scroll_Lock key: if you switch Scroll_Lock on, the new windows are not centered anymore. Laptops have no Scroll_Lock key. Here you can help yourself with Onboard in the system tray (keyboard layout: gb).

This program also houses the code for the automatic Suspend To RAM. This becomes effective after $SUSPEND_TIME minutes without any action when $ENABLE_SUSPEND_TIME is set to 'true'. These two environment variables can be determined in the file $HOME/.config/openbox/environment.
