I have achieved the style, I like it better that qtcurve, but as window theme, how do I activate it? I have both oxygen-gtk2 and oxygen-gtk3, but neither lxapeareance nor obconf give me any option to change it I want the top of the windows to look like this:

LXDE uses Openbox as window manager. Unfortunately Openbox lacks advanced window title and border rendering. The theme you are trying to use has most likely a metacity theme for those borders. Unless you use a different window manager (i.e. compiz, metacity, mutter, ...) that supports those border rendering methods, you won't be able to use the border theme within LXDE.
Despite that, you can switch the border and title theme for openbox within obconf but it will only be the square ones.

Thanks a lot! Do you know of another lighweiht window manager? Do yo think eggwm supports this feature? for example, at least now my arch+lxde look pretty nice!

Thanks in advance!

I've only been using openbox and dwm so far. If I recall correctly, fluxbox can display rounded corners but is also limited to simple drawing methods only. I don't know about eggwm though.
If the theme contains a xfwm4 border theme, you can try Xfce's window manager (xfwm4).
Otherwise your best bet would be compiz, which you can easily strap down via ccsm to make it more lightweight.

Thanks M4he!

I will try all your suggestions.

EDIT: Since its not a supported feature I will mark as soved, thanks!
