I have been looking at Razor QT more and it looks like you can theme this puppy but I am not having much luck with the how-to part as of yet. Make a custome theme I mean.

I will keep looking and see what I can find.

@Djohnston - what color theme are you going after? I never asked......yep, that's me!

Well......You can theme Razor but not like I thought. It looks like Openbox controls almost all themes for the DE. Razor themes are only for the panel/menu bar at the bottom of the screen.

On that note, finding a theme that will go good with the colors of the logo is a bit tuff as all themes with that color look bad in the menus. Monochromatic might be a good way to go and let the wallpapers be the color.

it seems a very difficult and complicated task to create a gtk3 theme

and I would really like it if all our spins would have a common beautiful brilliant theme that we can all be proud of

The Greybird theme can be modified quite easily, or several of the other gtk-3
themes.    I'm sure you could get the colors you want with 3 or 4 adjustments
without having to write a whole new theme with hundreds of lines.

Thanks, Patrick. I'll experiment. I believe Louis uses mostly gnome colors and shitaki themes to get the color matches. At least, that's what he once told me.

Try and draft LKJ from PClinuxOS, I see his work all over the web. He has mad skills when it comes to doing themes.

Hi,

He had done a background that I had used, while trying to make a pclos openbox 64bits (a failure, never worked correctly, due to I don't know what) and at that time he told me that what he did was only backgrounds, nothing else, done fast to please many people and that he didn't like to do anything else.

For themes we need the graphist to do a svg file which he will be able to reuse for different parts of theme, which will be possible for him to pass over to other graphists eventually wishing to rework on it, this in many ways possible. Then for the themes, we need images exported to png. From there we are good to make more.

If you can start with backgrounds in the largest format, for the 2 ratios images said somewhere else... could not remember where so once found I posted a link to dohnston's explanations at tips and tricks. Ratio of images

What would you say we should adopt as main color to work around ?

I think that should be shiki colors but I could be wrong.

I will leave that up to you guys but I kinda like grey/blue.

Blank canvas for others to use.

The next obubuntu wallpaper and login screen uses BlueBuntu wallpaper theme:
