fbpanel or lxpanel are started in a stanza in /root/,xinitrc, not sure about xfce4-panel. You could always just delete (or rename) /usr/bin/fbpanel, lxpanel, xfce4-panel.

I particularly like the glossy sliders, check boxes and rounded corners.
How do you get openbox to use it? It doesn't show up in obconf.

Rounded corners, y'say...I imagine it might be possible, if you can define the corners as .png files and then define a transparent color...might also be possible by the artful use of compton or transset-df...

You're right, it doesn't show up in obconf but it does in GTK theme chooser.

Have a look at the package I uploaded and you will see the png files.

Ah, I see, it's a widget theme, like Stardust (which is the widget theme I use with the Gelb openbox theme). But I don't think openbox has the necessary code to apply a widget theme to its window boxes.

It might be possible to transplant-in the relevant code from, say, fluxbox, but I suspect that the surgery would not be trivial.

Ok. My 23oz OB theme is based on the E17 one.

Such nice work, David - thanks for these! Great that you're including the hover-highlight function on buttons - an important, useful feature/functional detail (IMO) that seems typically missing on the "standard" OB themes. 8)
