Topic: Zarp Neon Openbox and GTK2 Theme - Released

Just a quick preview of a theme that should "hopefully" be finished by the end of the week.  It morphed from a theme using white solid components for selected menu items etc. to a more wire frame style as the previous style had some issues due to the contrasts in colours.

The GTK2 theme was developed from the Openbox theme not the other way around,  therefore Openbox and GTK look identical which I like.

The GTK and OB themes fit very nice together.

OK to keep Danny of my back here is an update (sliders are done)...  The GTK menu's in the theme look identical to the Openbox menu.  Off to bed now... goodnite.

I like the button gradient.  It's nice and professional looking, hard to come by in dark themes.

Hey Everyone,

Thanks for the interest.  Not to long now, but daily life being what it is doesn't give me much free time for enjoyable things like creating themes.

@rstrcogburn:  Sorry I haven't worked on that for ages and most likely won't I'm afraid due to lack of time plus I didn't really like using Murrine engine as I'm a pretty strict Openbox user and could never get it to look enough like Openbox... bit picky perhaps...

Re: Zarp Neon Openbox and GTK2 Theme - Released

Not yet, but once I get the GTK2 done my next mission is to create a GTK3 version so everything looks nice.  Have you had a look at it?

Re: Zarp Neon Openbox and GTK2 Theme - Released

I have uploaded the Theme.

Get it here:  http://jelloir.deviantart.com/art/Zarp-Neon-280647195

Let me know about any issues, suggestions or general critique.

Quote from Deviant Art Page:

"Zarp Neon" Openbox and GTK2 Theme.

V 0.1 - Initial Release

The Theme may not cater very well to full desktop enviroments as it does not include any panel config or XFCE/Gnome windows manager themes.

I built this theme starting with Openbox which means GTK2 looks identical to the Openbox. All components in the theme are square like Openbox and I have tried to make pre-lights subtle but noticeable by using a wire-frame style.

I am not 100% finished yet as some things could do with improvement and will create a GTK3 addition, so expect updates when I have time.

Because it's a dark theme Firefox and some apps may not work as well but if you run a minimal environment it should not bother you to much hopefully.

Hope you like it and let me know about any issues.
