Enjoy, and please feel free to message me or post a comment if something is wonky or broken.Last changelog:
20130602 - updated colors to match with the latest Greybird git update
0.5 - added text highlights to the window labels (thanks, sgtpep!)
0.4 - removed the window handle from the compact variant (thanks, pocio!)
0.3 - changed the shade icon to be closer to greybird's xfwm theme
0.2 - added a compact variant with smaller icons and less padding - tweaked the colors to be closer to greybird's xfwm theme (slightly lower contrast) - adjusted the icons to be closer to greybird's xfwm theme
It looks even nicer and similar to Greybird with window title shadows:
window.active.label.text.font: shadow=y:shadowtint=-70:shadowoffset=1
window.inactive.label.text.font: shadow=y:shadowtint=-50:shadowoffset=1
thank you for pointing this out to me; i had no idea that text shadows were even an option. i think it looks much better this way, too (shame there isn't a similar option for the button textures).
Hi!
Thank you very very much for this awesome theme, you did a really great job.
As you probably know, openbox is really good for netbooks, where screen space is not too much...Can you realize a more compact version of this theme (like original greybird comes with xfwm and xfwm_compact)?
Thank you very much!
hey. i added a compact variant to the archive. i doesn't have as much padding, and the icons are smaller. i wasn't 100% sure if that is what you had in mind, so let me know if you'd like me to tweak some things.
Great!!!
Thank you very very much!
Been on a netbook, I tweak it a little bit more by using :
window.handle.width: 0
Thank you very very much again, great job!
hey thanks. i made the menus darker like that to match the gtk theme (the version i was using had darker menus as well), but i see what you're saying.
i might make some variants (dark osd (if i can, i had trouble when i tried before) + dark menus, light osd + light menus, thinner borders) if you or anyone else is interested.

Still one of the best!

I like simple window title especially. But what seems to me bad, that menu and title themes doesn't match.
