Hi first this is my first post here and I'd like to express how awesome Arch is. I've long battled with toing and throwing between various distros and Windows but I think that will stop with Arch. It just 'feels' right for me . Now onto my issue.
I've installed Openbox via the beginners wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beg … de#Openbox) and am also running thunar. My question is this, how do I get gnome themes to display correctly in my applications including thunar. I've installed the following theme (http://box-look.org/content/show.php/Mu … tent=66198) as I thought this particular setup looked nice http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/8910/screen220323.jpg. But thats all I get after selecting the theme in obconf is nastly looking WIndows 95esqe looking windows and menus with ridgid boring styles. Do I have to install gnome first and then install openbox as I don't want all the crap that a gnome installation would dump onto my system.

You use obconf to change the Openbox theme (just the window borders). To change the GTK theme you can use lxappearance or a few other tools:

Ah ha, thank you. That seems to have done the trick. Even though I had already installed many of those things there must have been something missing as it's working now. Thanks again.
