Halp with my theme :<

I'm really not sure if this is the right forum to ask this in, so correct me if it isn't.

I need help with my theme. I've tried so many openbox/GTK2 combos and nothing looks right with the rest of it

Can anyone suggest something that would look nice with my setup? ;__;

Or even just colors to use for editing existing GTK2 themes?

In exchange I offer the rest of my wallpaper collection, http://cgi.alrig.ht/wg/res/1.html

I have a few suggestions. Smaller fonts, maybe even a pixel font for you conky and rss feed sidebar.
It looks like your using tint, try not having that border around it. Also try another wallpaper.
That is my opinion tho. Check out the september/august screenshots, and you will get lots of ideas. Also tell us what style your into.

Well, the desktop is fine for me. I really like it.

Couldn't use Tint, since you can't use images with it. The taskbar circle things were made to match the wallpaper, with bmpanel which can use png images for the bar.

All I'm having troubles with is my GTK2 and Openbox theme. So if anyone goes "Oh, I know a GTK2 theme that would look great with that!", I would rly appreciate it :'D

Try the Fawn GTK theme, and then modifying the colors of an openbox theme like dyne.

That would actually be perfect for that desktop. The conky from the fawn gtk theme would also look nice.

Hokay.. so... I didn't like how the controls looked with Fawn so I just used Fawn's colors in Clearlooks-compact.
Then I took Dyne and edited it..

Do you think this looks alright?
