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

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

# Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install rxvt-unicode

# Arch
sudo pacman -S rxvt-unicode

# CentOS

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

<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"/>
