My comment was stripped out. The key binding I use is this. Replace (( )) with the angled brackets.

((keybind key=”A-F5″))
((action name=”Reconfigure”/))
((/keybind))

I like those. Can you post the configuration file somewhere? or copy it into here?

Wow. This is almost exactly like the original blackbox ‘minimal theme’.

I picked up that old theme and updated it to the newer blackbox, and when I switched to openbox I hand-ported it over there too.

But then it turned out that the minimal theme was already included in openbox. So I took that and updated it a bit.

My preferences are only slightly different from the ones in this theme.

So as it turns out, there are at least a couple of us who like this style. =)

[...] Being amazingly inventive, I call this “LookClear-Flat” and I like it better than the “Clearlooks-Flat” I spun out a year ago. [...]

To create an .obt archive, open obconf and click ‘create obt archive’ (or whatever it is called). Select the directory you’d like to archive, and you’re done. I think it would even work if you just create a tar.gz archive and rename the extension to .obt (it works the other way).
