Hi, Purpleleaf. Whenever I can find the time to do so, I've been working on updating this, so hopefully I should have it rolled out sometime next week (I'm fairly busy and don't get to work on this as often as I'd like), so that should fix it. Please let me know if it doesn't. This theme series, BTW, is based on Greybird, which, IMHO, is one of the best themes out there as well as one of the easiest to work with for creating a derivative theme, so I don't see why it wouldn't fix it. |

I know, right? :-) I discovered this on the Openbox themes for Shiki-Colors, which have a gray background on the active close buttons. Being curious, I downloaded it to take a look at what that theme creator had done. I then dug around on the web to find any clue I could get my hands on to how to do that with the other buttons as well, just to see if I could, piecing together the information in a little bit of trial and error until I had achieved the effect I wanted.
And yes, I agree with you, this most definitely needs to be documented (hey, I wonder if they would accept that piece of documentation from me), because the way the buttons all looked the same on every Openbox theme I'd seen made me think that most Openbox themes were dull and boring. But once I saw what user JohnIsEvil had done with it, that piqued my curiosity, and as they say, the rest is history. |

I have just corrected that. What happened was, back in February, my cloud hosting provider, Copy.com, announced that they would be discontinuing the service on May 1, so I moved everything I had there over to Google Drive, and I forgot to update that here -- until now. I haven't made any changes to these themes, since this semester has been an extremely busy one for me, with this being my wife's last semester of graduate school, so I've had to step it up a bit on household chores over the last several months. Thus, all this is is just a download URL update. |

Clearlooks is probably the most usable GTK theme ever created. To me, most modern themes have scrollbars that are too narrow and are missing the stepper buttons. Oh, and I have never liked the flat look of most modern themes, either. This, OTOH -- just right. ;-) |

I gotta say I like this one -- well done! Might have to see if I can port this one over to Xfwm if I get a chance... |

Yeah, I saw the screenshot. It sucks that such a great idea for a theme that Vic gave us all in 2008 is now essentially useless, since the GTK3 devs don't give a rat's rear end about theming compatibility. :-( Thankfully, I don't use such programs all that often. |

Bummer...sorry, I thought you were confused about which Openbox theme to use with the NeoShiki variants -- my bad!
Looks like I'm gonna have to see if CobiBird is updated for GTK 3.18 and if so...well, back to the ol' drawing board...I thought GTK 3.x had finally quit breaking APIs with each new release -- turns out I was wrong. :-(
In the meantime, I would try using the mixed themes, which will have the light menubar but still have the dark menus. |
