Description Giampier 2007-10-28 09:48:09 UTC

Running obconf from a terminal I get:

  ObRender-Message: Unable to parse color '7eee8cf'
  ObRender-Message: Unable to parse color '7eee8cf'
  ObRender-Message: Unable to parse color ''

then from /usr/share/themes

  $ grep -r 'colorTo: 7eee8cf' *
  MavOS/openbox-3/themerc:window.inactive.handle.bg.colorTo: 7eee8cf
  oldred/openbox-3/themerc:window.inactive.handle.bg.colorTo: 7eee8cf
  oldred/openbox-3/themerc~:window.inactive.handle.bg.colorTo: 7eee8cf

All these occurrences should be changed to `#eee8cf' instead of `7eee8cf'.
Moreover:

  grep -r 'colorTo: $' *
  rabbit/openbox-3/themerc:window.active.grip.bg.colorTo: 
  rabbit/openbox-3/themerc~:window.active.grip.bg.colorTo: 

which should be changed to something else than the empty string or remove the entry.
Here the version of the packages:

[ebuild   R   ] x11-wm/openbox-3.4.4  USE="nls -startup-notification -xinerama" 0 kB 
[ebuild   R   ] x11-themes/openbox-themes-0.6-r1  USE="-gtk" 0 kB 
[ebuild   R   ] x11-misc/obconf-2.0.2  USE="nls" 0 kB 


Reproducible: Always

While this is a rather easy fix, the fact remains that the package is an extremely old compilation of themes. The theming engine has since evolved, and although it remains backwards-compatible, it now supports a variety of features which these older themes do not exhibit. Also, unless plans have changed, the next major release is going to have a completely revised theme format using XML.

What are your thoughts on either pruning or introducing a completely new compilation?

# Masked for removal in 30 days. (bug #197277)
# Extremely old compilation of themes not utilising new features.
# Openbox is intended to move to a new theme format in the future.
