Openbox and Fluxbox theme specs

Is anyone familiar enough with whatever changes Openbox and Fluxbox have made to the *box theme spec to explain me the major differences?

Hehe...I think that's asking quite a lot of someone when the information is at your fingertips already.  The official Openbox website has complete step-by-step documentation of it's theming specs.  I can't speak for Fluxbox, but there must be something similar for it as well.

The next major version of Openbox is also said to be doing away entirely with the X resource style themes.  Themes will be written in pure XML.

Ick. I might just have to switch to PekWM for sure this time. I wasn't aware of that change.

afaik there is a small script which "translates" existing themes automatically to xml.
ps: but i´m not finding it right now...
