Re: Share your Openbox Desktop ! :)

Built today on my i5 (the XFCE one is on my i3):

* Numix GTK Theme (blue)
* Numix Icon Set
* obmenu-generator with custom category to access config files
* LTS (3.10) kernel

Based on the desktop I designed for the Manjaro Linux Openbox flavour, except:

* Blue instead of green colours used
* Being pure Arch, it is much faster and seems to idle using 60MB less RAM (i.e. 162MB)!

If anyone is wondering why my HD is listed as only 50GB, that's because the 900GB Home partition is not shown in the conky display.

Re: Share your Openbox Desktop ! :)

Are there any alternatives to GTK?
Would it mean changing to some other WM? What are some alternatives to Openbox?
Looking for a change from GTK if such a statement even makes sense..

Re: Share your Openbox Desktop ! :)

There's Qt, or no toolkit (i.e. Xlib or command line applications). Openbox is not based on any toolkit, so you can keep using it.

Re: Share your Openbox Desktop ! :)

^^^ Well you're right. I guess it's app specific, Qt, GTK or CLI.

My problem is I am bored of GTK. LOL.

Re: Share your Openbox Desktop ! :)

@Larsson

Very nice Openbox theme! The only drawback is the missing border around the openbox menu.

See this: http://i.imgur.com/NRvFKsl.png

Do you aim at fixing this?

^^^ If you use Composition Shadow effects the OB window theme looks better without a border.
