[gentoo-user] lxappearance and commonbox-styles?

[Marcus Wanner]

I installed lxde and am really liking it (stabilization soon? install 
went without a hitch...). I also installed commonbox-styles because I 
didn't really like the default theme, so I installed commonbox-themes 
and commonbox-themes-extra. I opened lxappearance and tried to switch to 
one of my shiny new themes, but there was still only the default one 
available. Am I missing something here? I tried googleing, but didn't 
find anything besides some irrelevant build logs. Rebooting did not 
produce any new themes either...

Thanks.

the themes you installed are for openbox (title bar and borders), those can
be changed with "obconf" (emerge it if you don't have it). lxappearance
changes the gtk and icon themes. (gnome-themes, gtk-engines-* etc)

Oh, I understand now. I will look into obconf and the other packages you 
mentioned.

Thank you!

Works great, thanks. I'm now running a great Marrina theme with some 
great gnome-themes-extras icons and a great ClearLooks window manager. 
No more Redmond!
