Updated Openbox Ambiance and Radiance type themes for Ubuntu 10.10
Making Openbox themes to match other themes is sometimes sort of fun, sometimes futile, but you do it anyway, think of the children. Some time ago I tried (for the greater good!) to make a pair of themes to go with Ubuntu’s Ambiance and Radiance, I’m not a big fan of these themes, personally, I find the lack of obvious focused window sort of irritating. The results were ‘OK’ but by no means stunning, so of course with such wild success last time I decided to follow suit with the newer ‘Maverick’ updates to said themes. They have the same mixed success. They both ‘fit’ and do not look wildly out of place, but they also have glaring omissions (red close button, roundness, opacity etc)
