So to remedy this I've gone the complete other way and made a murrine engine version, and you'll need git murrine I ... http://david.chalkskeletons.com/blog/?p=56 I finally uploaded the first effort at an Openbox version-ish of the ubuntu radiance theme. File here Screenshot here It's far from perfect, I'd appreciate any thoughts? http://david.chalkskeletons.com/blog/?p=54 Despite being a somewhat dysfunctional l3ib member I'm tossing my hat into haxpact. I don't have much going on except a mess of scripts and some themes but let's begin. The new artwork has surfaced for ubuntu, this is pretty old news. I thought I'd try and make an openbox version so, ... http://david.chalkskeletons.com/blog/?p=49 There are a few xdg menus appearing for openbox, but I still don't think any of them are as good (or as simple) as the one provided by Fedora, which, as I understand it, is still the only one that properly respects user customisation. The problem is that it does not ... http://david.chalkskeletons.com/blog/?p=44 There has been a new Openbox released! (changelog | download) (thanks Dana and Mikael).
