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.

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?
