Description:

Hello.

This is an Openbox theme to match the recent (git) version of Greybird from The Shimmer Project (http://shimmerproject.org/project/greybird/).

Note that this DOES NOT match well with the Classic version of Greybird. For one that does, see my other upload here: http://box-look.org/content/show.php?content=158987.

Enjoy, and please feel free to message me or post a comment if something is wonky or broken.

It looks even nicer and similar to Greybird with window title shadows:

window.active.label.text.font: shadow=y:shadowtint=-70:shadowoffset=1
window.inactive.label.text.font: shadow=y:shadowtint=-50:shadowoffset=1

thank you for pointing this out to me; i had no idea that text shadows were even an option. i think it looks much better this way, too (shame there isn't a similar option for the button textures).

Hi!
Thank you very very much for this awesome theme, you did a really great job.

As you probably know, openbox is really good for netbooks, where screen space is not too much...Can you realize a more compact version of this theme (like original greybird comes with xfwm and xfwm_compact)?

Thank you very much!

hey. i added a compact variant to the archive. i doesn't have as much padding, and the icons are smaller. i wasn't 100% sure if that is what you had in mind, so let me know if you'd like me to tweak some things.

Great!!!
Thank you very very much!

Been on a netbook, I tweak it a little bit more by using :

window.handle.width: 0

Thank you very very much again, great job!

I like simple window title especially. But what seems to me bad, that menu and title themes doesn't match.

hey thanks. i made the menus darker like that to match the gtk theme (the version i was using had darker menus as well), but i see what you're saying.

i might make some variants (dark osd (if i can, i had trouble when i tried before) + dark menus, light osd + light menus, thinner borders) if you or anyone else is interested.
