Openbox themes

Hi!

I've just installed arch and are using openbox.
Now I'm messing around with themes to make everything look good. But there seems to be something I'm not really getting the hang of.

I've installed this supercool theme and i love it but how can i make the programs use it to, like firefox, xterm, my filemanager and so on.
It's kinda hard to explain what i want but if you look at the border of the window it's black with white text and i would like my firefox to look like this too. I would like the menu where File, Edit View is and whole firefox to like like my openbox theme. Is it possible to do this?

Re: Openbox themes

You need to install a matching/complementary GTK theme: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Op … appearance

Re: Openbox themes

Thank you very much! I've got it working now and it looks good.
But there's still one thing that i'm not happy with. And i would like my xrvt to be transparent but i can't get it to work. It wont even read the .Xresources file...
I would be very greatful if someone could post their settings to urxvt och maybe help me get started, the rest i can figure out.

Try using an .Xdefaults file instead.
