Slim Theme not loading shows dafault theme only.

Hi I I installed slim and archlinux-slim-themes and did what the wiki said in regard to showing different themes.

 Path, X server and arguments (if needed)
# Note: -xauth $authfile is automatically appended
default_path        /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
default_xserver     /usr/bin/X
xserver_arguments -nolisten tcp vt07

# Commands for halt, login, etc.
halt_cmd            /sbin/shutdown -h now
reboot_cmd          /sbin/shutdown -r now
console_cmd         /usr/bin/xterm -C -fg white -bg black +sb -T "Console login" -e /bin/sh -c "/bin/cat /etc/issue; exec /bin/login"
#suspend_cmd        /usr/sbin/suspend

# Full path to the xauth binary
xauth_path         /usr/bin/xauth 

# Xauth file for server
authfile           /var/run/slim.auth


# Activate numlock when slim starts. Valid values: on|off
# numlock             on

# Hide the mouse cursor (note: does not work with some WMs).
# Valid values: true|false
# hidecursor          false

# This command is executed after a succesful login.
# you can place the %session and %theme variables
# to handle launching of specific commands in .xinitrc
# depending of chosen session and slim theme
#
# NOTE: if your system does not have bash you need
# to adjust the command according to your preferred shell,
# i.e. for freebsd use:
# login_cmd           exec /bin/sh - ~/.xinitrc %session
login_cmd           exec /bin/bash -login ~/.xinitrc %session

# Commands executed when starting and exiting a session.
# They can be used for registering a X11 session with
# sessreg. You can use the %user variable
#
# sessionstart_cmd	some command
# sessionstop_cmd	some command

# Start in daemon mode. Valid values: yes | no
# Note that this can be overriden by the command line
# options "-d" and "-nodaemon"
# daemon	yes

# Set directory that contains the xsessions.
# slim reads xsesion from this directory, and be able to select.
sessiondir            /usr/share/xsessions/

# Executed when pressing F11 (requires imagemagick)
screenshot_cmd      import -window root /slim.png

# welcome message. Available variables: %host, %domain
welcome_msg         Welcome to %host

# Session message. Prepended to the session name when pressing F1
# session_msg         Session: 

# shutdown / reboot messages
shutdown_msg       The system is halting...
reboot_msg         The system is rebooting...

# default user, leave blank or remove this line
# for avoid pre-loading the username.
#default_user        simone

# Focus the password field on start when default_user is set
# Set to "yes" to enable this feature
#focus_password      no

# Automatically login the default user (without entering
# the password. Set to "yes" to enable this feature
#auto_login          no


# current theme, use comma separated list to specify a set to 
# randomly choose from
current_theme       smoke-window

# Lock file
lockfile            /var/lock/slim.lock

# Log file
logfile             /var/log/slim.log

The source for the theme is this: /usr/share/themes/Smoke/xfce-notify-4.0/gtkrc

style "smoke-window"
{
    bg[NORMAL] = "#4d4d4d"
    XfceNotifyWindow::border-color = "#ffffff"
    XfceNotifyWindow::border-radius = 10.0
    XfceNotifyWindow::border-width-hover = 3.0
}
class "XfceNotifyWindow" style "smoke-window"

style "smoke-button"
{
    bg[NORMAL] = "#202020"
    bg[PRELIGHT] = "#404040"
    fg[NORMAL] = "#ffffff"
    fg[PRELIGHT] = "#ffffff"
}
widget_class "XfceNotifyWindow.*.GtkButton*" style "smoke-button"

style "smoke-text"
{
    fg[NORMAL] = "#ffffff"
    GtkWidget::link-color = "#a7a7a7"
}
widget_class "XfceNotifyWindow.*.<GtkLabel>" style "smoke-text"

style "smoke-summary"
{
    font_name = "Bold"
}
widget "XfceNotifyWindow.*.summary" style "smoke-summary"

I tryed on several different themes with the same method and still ugly ass default login screen

This is my ~/xinitrc:

# OPENBOX LOADER
exec openbox-session

# Start a D-Bus session
# Source the below file only if you do not already use the default xinitrc skeleton.
# Otherwise you will end up with multiple dbus sessions.
source /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/30-dbus
# Start GNOME Keyring
eval $(/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=gpg,pkcs11,secrets,ssh)
# You probably need to do this too:
export GPG_AGENT_INFO SSH_AUTH_SOCK

I don't know whats missing I did everything the wiki told me still Slim only showing default theme. Please help. Thanks.

Re: Slim Theme not loading shows dafault theme only.

I could be wrong but you seem to be confusing themes specific to slim with themes for gtk. The themes available for slim are in /usr/share/slim/themes.
