vermaden, I kinda agree with you about looking no further, I didnt try out any other lightweight managers, but like Openbox so much, I really havent much desire to try others.
I feel like Im spamming this thread, but I started to get a little intimate with config texts these past couple days, and felt like posting.
Had been using gnome-settings for my background, icons, and almost debated on installing more Gnome components, to make mounting with hal, permissions...etc, work and everything, but decided to change it back all lightweight, configure .gtkrc-2.0, and install Nitrogen for wallpaper.
Originally I was just going to go back to Feh, but I didnt like how it fit wallpaper, compared to gnome-appearance-preferences, so I tried Nitrogen, it unfortunately fits it the same, but gives me the cool option to set a different wallpaper for each monitor. I wont mind the occasional cropping of images to make them fit as intended.
Anyhow, back to my main reason for posting, I notice the Onyx themes in some of the other screenshots, and there is only the default blue, or Orange to use. Its fairly easy to make the color match your wallpaper if anyone was curious.
Themes are located in:
Copy the desired theme directory to:
and rename the theme directory to your liking, in this case I used "Onyx-Custom"
The theme directory, contains an openbox-3 directory, modify the themerc file located inside of it accordingly. Commented with "button color"

Easy way to make the colors match a wallpaper...etc, Ive found, is to just load the wallpaper in Gimp, and use the color picker to get the hex value. The Pidgin image background is done in .gtkrc-2.0, btw.
I use Obconf to switch between themes, easy, quick, and it seems to do well, and will pick up your new theme directory in .themes. I dont like Obmenu though, it made a mess of my .xml when I first tried it awhile back, and wont use it again.
Edit: I just realized I forgot to change the pressed state colors of the window minimize/maximize/close buttons...theyre correct already un-pressed, Ill have to come back and re-edit, I was just mainly using that as an example, but I suppose someone may copy and use it.
Said I'd be posting some more screenshots a few posts ago, but didnt realize it would go this far, lol. Think I should be pretty close to done boring you guys.
Also, thanks to Dana Jansens.
