Oh Really? Openbox Theme

Oh Really?
Yes really. Here's my newest Openbox theme, Oh Really. A version with a skinnier title bar is included as well as a .pypanelrc for each. Info and download here.
So do you like it? Any suggestions? ^_^
Edit: Sorry, I think I posted this in the wrong section. Feel free to move it. ^_^

Can't install Openbox theme

Hey, i have recently shifted to Arch Linux, and now i'm playing around with Openbox, which I really like.
I have a problem installing the "Arch.blue" openbox theme from http://www.box-look.org/content/show.ph … tent=74000
The theme is a .tar.bz2 file and I have to make it a .obt file, how to do that? (this is the newbie corner, guys )
When I had to install some other Openbox themes I could just rename the file from .tar.gz to .obt and I could install the theme with Obconf.
Hope you have time to assist me in this matter, thank you
Fleet

You don't need to make it into an .obt, you can just move it to ~/.themes, and then run 'tar -xjf' on it.

Openbox Themes in gtk-theme-switch

I've got a little problem with gtk-theme-switch, both Openbox, and gtk-theme-switch expect their respective themes to be in ~/.themes, obconf can tell the difference, and doesn't show those that won't work, gtk-theme-switch, however, shows all my Openbox themes, which it won't work with.
I would be really grateful if someone could provide me with a solution, or of necessary, an alternate program to change GTK themes in a pure Openbox environment.

It has two commands, switch, for old GTK1.x themes, and switch2 for GTK2 themes.
I'll try gtk-chtheme and see if it makes any difference.
Yep, gtk-chtheme doesn't show my Openbox themes, thanks.

Axonkolorish Openbox Theme

Yeah, I based this theme off of the axonkolor visual style but it's not really a port since you can't make three color horizontal gradients in Openbox yet. Anyways the main reason I chose to make this is to do something interesting with what Openbox can do instead of flat solid everything. I think we need more innovation with our Openbox themes. It can get kind of boring otherwise. Anyways look here for downloads and notes.

IF you also don't need window decorations like in the screenshot you must add this to rc.xml,between <applications> and </applications>,almost at the end of the config
<application class="*">
<decor>no</decor>
</application>
Also you can install obtheme from community which makes theme editing much more easier.

Paper Delusion Openbox Theme

Download
My first Openbox theme. Comes with Paper Delusion and the Steel Delusion variant.
Title bar buttons are taken from Dyne by Lyrae
Wallpaper: alabaster by ether
Title and Menu font: AvantGarde LT Medium
In this screenshot:
Panel - visibility
Clock - conky
Run - gmrum
Music - sonata
Editor - gedit (I accually use vim >_>)
Config - obconf
Tell me what you think. ^_^

I love Openbox and the themes that the community has made but unfortunatly there's not much innovation to be made in themes besides colour and icon use. I really hope that later versions of Openbox offer more features for customization.
Here's your innovation: http://trapd00r.deviantart.com/gallery/
Is that yours? Haha. Anyways I can't say I'm a fan of the scanline like style in the title bars but that's deffiently something different. Also there's some other things that they do different. I'm going to have to check out the themecfgs for them. Thanks for the linky.
I bet I could do much more intresting things if I accually read the guide on the openbox wiki. I made this first one by just changing a base theme into this. >_>
molom wrote:Very nice, I love minimalistic themes.
Thanks so do I.
And so do I.
Yep that's mine, and I recommend you to read the theme specifications on the openbox site, there's lots of cool things to try out. Anyways, I can't wait for a new openbox version so that I can have something new to play around with.

Openbox themes

Hi!
I've just installed arch and are using openbox.
Now I'm messing around with themes to make everything look good. But there seems to be something I'm not really getting the hang of.
I've installed this supercool theme and i love it but how can i make the programs use it to, like firefox, xterm, my filemanager and so on.
It's kinda hard to explain what i want but if you look at the border of the window it's black with white text and i would like my firefox to look like this too. I would like the menu where File, Edit View is and whole firefox to like like my openbox theme. Is it possible to do this?

There are lots of ideas floating on the web for this particular issue - all of which I tried. I had the same problem and it turned out to be my USB cable. I thought the cable was fine as it would charge my phone and play but the data transfer pin was bent. I replaced the cable and it fixed the problem. Worth a shot as it is an easy fix!

If you haven't been using your phone as recommended, then you've lost all your contacts. Contacts should be synched to your computer (Address Book, Outlook) or a cloud service (MobileMe, Google) for safekeeping. The iPhone was never intended to be a storage device.
If you haven't been using your phone as recommended and synching your contacts as above, frankly, you've no one to blame for your loss of data but yourself.
On that topic, are you making regular backups of your computer's data as well? Hard drives WILL fail.

Did you purchase them on your iPad with the same Apple ID that you are using for iTunes on your iPhone and that iTunes on your Mac is sign into?

Openbox Theme from GTK theme [beta]

Something like this surely exists, here is my version..
Creates an Openbox Theme from your chosen GTK Theme ... ..in 1), 2), 3)...
1) you need to launch your theme changing from a script like this (instead of calling your GTK switcher directly)
#!/bin/bash
# call your gtk theme switcher and as it quits create a matching openbox theme
# command for gtk theme switcher
lxappearance
# path to auto openbox theme generator script
~/bin/auto-openbox-theme
# launch obconf (so you can select the newly made theme)
obconf
exit
2) For that to work you also need this next script in ~/bin/auto-openbox-theme and made executable
#!/bin/bash
# Looks for the current GTK theme and automatically creates a matching Openbox theme
# The script fails on themes not following the Clearlooks convention..
# ..future improvements will account for this - for now the script politely fails on such themes.
# function used to see if script is generating empty results from GTK it can't handle yet
function emptycheck {
if [ -s $myfile ]
then
echo "$myfile has data."
else
echo "$myfile is empty."
xmessage "Sorry this gtk is not handled yet. You should not select the generated Openbox Theme this time."
exit
fi
# main script #
# copy ~/.gtkrc-2.0 to a new file and remove all data except theme name line (!d = don't delete)
sed /gtk-theme-name/!d ~/.gtkrc-2.0 > ~/.gtk-match-openbox-info
# remove string before gtk theme name and return info to this file (-i)
sed -i s/gtk-theme-name=// ~/.gtk-match-openbox-info

sed -i s/YYYYYY/$myY/g /tmp/obtheme
sed s/ZZZZZZ/$myZ/g /tmp/obtheme > ~/.themes/obthemetemplate/openbox-3/themerc
# update rc.xml
#urxvt -e /usr/bin/obconf
3) AND you need this folder in your ~/.themes/ folder - download it, extract and copy to ~/.themes
4) (optional but welcome) Post your fails, post your abusive and constructive criticism, and post your "hey why don't you use this 5million times better version here?"'s
thanks, bye

Works fine here. Thanks for the script, it's quite handy and I got at last a nice OB theme witch fits with the murrina chrome gtk theme

Openbox Theme Redirect

Is there a file i can edit to tell openbox to look for themes in a different place than the usual
/usr/share/themes/onyx/themerc
also i would like to have openbox to read the theme file as themenamerc instead of just themerc ?
so the path to the openbox theme would be like this
/usr/share/themes/openbox/onyxrc
so far all i have found is this info http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Themes#The … _structure. does anyone know where this file is, so i can maybe set the options. also would the main theme file section support wild carding *rc so openbox would recognise when *rc file when set manually in the rc.xml file?

You might be able to achieve the desired result with symlinks. Your last question about wildcarding makes no sense, try asking it again more clearly.
BTW, the path you identified as "the usual" is incorrect - it is /usr/share/themes/<themename>/openbox-3/themerc.
regarding the wildcarding. form what i understand at the moment, openbox is hardcoded to read themerc files in the ./themename/openbox-3/themerc. i was going to play around and instead of having the path and file name as
/usr/share/themes/themename/openbox-3/themerc
i was going to split the /usr/share/themes directory into the main theme catagories
usr/share/themes/openbox/themenamerc.ob
usr/share/themes/gtk1|2|3/themenamerc.gtk
usr/share/themes/icons/themedir/icondir
i feel this would be more organised and also shorter path structure with less recursion. i know it would not work very well in practice as you stated most paths are hard coded into the applications themeselves and would mean a complete rebuild of all the packages i use. i could do something symlinks and will see how it works.
which brings me back to the wildcarding. is i wa to use the format /usr/share/themes/openbox/themenamerc.ob i would have to code openbox to recognise the theme files with different names *rc.ob not just themerc.

Minibox, a small Openbox theme

Minibox is a small Openbox theme. It’s blue, black, gray, and minimal. Enjoy.
Screenshots: Busy, Fullscreen
Download Minibox

Actually, I think you can make custom themes, but if they're out of the size dimensions of the books Apple sells, then you can't used your custom layout for that. The custom layout/book is for if you want to do a custom layout in Aperture and then export the pages as JPGs and send them off to the printer of your choice, one who has the type (or size) of the book you want. Book printing companies should try to come on board if possible and provide third-part plug-ins for Aperture in which customers upload designs directly from the program.

Oh Really? Openbox Theme
