Re: ArchModern suite (ver0.3 - 21.02.2010)
Great work weakhead !
One of the best openbox themes now imo.
Could you share flavors other than blue?
A dark gray perhaps? 
Don't panic !

Re: ArchModern suite (ver0.3 - 21.02.2010)
Does this also need the clearlooks engine?

Yes, it needs Clearlooks engine.
Looks like I have to change my way of thinking - I find it obvious that after installing gtk, user should also install gtk-engines (if he wants to have real choice of themes).

Sorry, I won't make KDE4 version. I simply don't use KDE4, it's still unstable for my machine. Besides, making KDE port would make sense only when GTK version will achieve it's final form (I still consider it WIP).

I'm not sure what do you mean by murrine window border. If you mean Metacity theme, then no. However, it is possible that I will make Emerald theme, but only after everything else is finished.
As for my fonts settings, see this post: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 29#p695829

Re: ArchModern suite (ver0.3 - 21.02.2010)
Beautiful theme. I've set it as my default. One question, what's the setting to make the fonts a darker or black color. The way they are (grey), it's almost hard for me to read them.
Thx

Do you mean font color in general, or fonts in certain places (like menubar, etc)?
If in general, then simply open patch_to_theme/gtk-2.0/gtkrc and edit values of fg_color and text_color in line 5.

Re: ArchModern suite (ver0.3 - 21.02.2010)
Yeah, the general fonts, like the menu, desktop etc. I made the changes and my eyes thank you.

Re: ArchModern suite (ver0.3 - 21.02.2010)
You're welcome.
Perhaps I will make fonts a bit darker in next releases.

Of course I meant metacity. I don't know why I've wrote murrine. I suppose I'll have to use openbox instead of metacity.
Thanks for font config.

Re: ArchModern suite (ver0.3 - 21.02.2010)
Thank you for such a great theme. The only problem I have is the border doesn't show up in the Gnome Theme Selector. Is it from another theme or do I need to grab the border from another directory in the archive?
