Description: A blue, black and white Gtk theme, using the pixmap and mist engines, based on Lyrae's Nova themes. It goes well with the Openbox theme of the same name (see second link).
Feedback is always welcome.Last changelog:
11-11-07: Made some improvements to the theme. Also added some additional colours: Deviant (greenish), Brown and Red.
6-11-07: Added additional colour variations: Green, Orange, Purple and Pink. Also made some minor fixes.
Thanks, PhrAok. I saw you created a deviant theme based on this one. I had created a Breathe gtk and openbox theme using your colours but couldn't upload it, I've added it here anyway, though it is a bit redundant now. Hope you don't mind.
BTW: in the panel, what font are you using? It looks nice!
And the menu, how did you color on top? I am new to openbox but I know how to edit the menu, which I do with Openbox menu Editor.
Thank you.
The wallpaper is Prana by Tumb. You can find it (and other colour variations) here: http://customize.org/wallpapers/51331
The font on pypanel is HeldustryFTVBasic Black.
To get the menu title in the menu, you'll have to add a separator with a title to your menu.xml file (in /home/USERNAME/.config/openbox/). Obmenu does not support this (yet), so you'll have to do it manually. This is what you should have at the beginning of that file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<openbox_menu>
<menu id="root-menu" label="Openbox 3">
<separator label="openbox 3"/>
I hope this helps.
I'm not so sure, actually. The version of the mist engine I have installed on Ubuntu Dapper (my OS) is 1.2.7.4; there is no package for the pixmap engine on Ubuntu (should be bundled with something else, though I am not sure what). It should be the same as Lyrae's themes, as I based this one of hers.
Do you have difficulties with the theme?

On my laptop it looks different with your screenshot(
Nice job! Like what you have done! But where can I get that wallpaper?
