Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
It's an Ambiance like Theme for Fluxbox, Icewm, Openbox, Lxde, Xfce, Gnome2/Mate & Gnome3 (Unity, Gnome-Shell, Gnome-Classic & Cinnamon). Gtk-3.16 and Cinnamon 2.8 compatible.
The objective is to have it working very well in all that environnements with a choice of 4 flavours.
NEW: set of grub2 themes. More infos : https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1160963/
INSTALLATION:
* open a Terminal in the folder where the file Crunchy-themes.tar.gz is
* and copy/paste this command line (Ubuntu like distros):
[indent]sudo tar -zxvf Crunchy-themes.tar.gz -C /usr/share[/indent]
(or if you are in Debian)
su
password
tar -zxvf Crunchy-themes.tar.gz -C /usr/share
Customization of the window-list extension in Gnome-shell
As we can't theme it, we have to change the original files. So we have to make copies of them before making the customization. In a terminal:
su
password
cd /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/window-list@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com
cp classic.css classic_Origin.css
cp stylesheet.css stylesheet_Origin.css
cp classic_Crunchy.css classic.css
cp stylesheet_Crunchy.css stylesheet.css
Setting the theme in Gnome
* Unity: you have to install and use Unity-tweak
* Gnome-Shell: Gnome-tweak (Advanced settings) must be used and the user theme plugin activated
* Cinnamon: in the control center / themes
Openbox rounded Buttons
If the display of the buttons is weird, just set the "active window title" font to the right size. Example : Ubuntu (regular) 11.
Gtk engines dependancy
Murrine & Unico are needed by the theme. To be sure they are installed:
[indent]sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-murrine gtk3-engines-unico[/indent]
GTK3 theme rewritten but only for Xfce 11 months ago
Here's the theme I use on my Xubuntu but a rapid test under Ubuntu showed me that it's not working well there.

Is it relative to the font size of "Active window title" that must be set to 11? I don't know why but without this set, the buttons are cut.
Is it a problem of colours?
The problem with theming is that the gnome part of it make us spend so much time because of the non-compatibility between versions: 3.8 vs 3.10, 3.10 vs 3.12 and now the 3.14 version... that we have lesser time to maintain for example the openbox version.

Which desktop will you choose (Xfce, Gnome-shell, Unity, Cinnamon, Mate, Lxde,..)?
It's a good way to have the theme tested and have a lot of questions..

Don't know if with compositing activated it's possible or not ?
Transparency or rounded windows seems to not being features available in Openbox.

I know it doesn't answer fully at your request but I'm not part of the development team of the Openbox window manager... Rounded window corners can only be fixed by them..

This theme is set to be effective in a lot of desktop.
At first, I made it to be used under Crunchbang Linux (Openbox+Debian). Now, its evolution made me do it for Linux Mint (Mate and Cinnamon), Gnome (Unity, Gnome-Shell), for Xfce,..
I'm having a look in Fluxbox theming to answer to your needs that Openbox can't reach. I have problem with transparency that seems to be a default there. I don't want it for Crunchy. Still looking for a solution...

thank you for responding! it was my understanding too that rounded windows are not possible with openbox, but since the second and the third pictures that you posted had rounded windows, i thought maybe that you had figured out a way to do this. Also the comment on changing the font made me think so, too. So, I guess the screenshots are not all using openbox then? Thanks again for your answer!

Here's an image http://www.brucemcl.com/images/widgets.png
Maybe the widgets need to be 12 x 12 or 8 x 8 instead of 16 x 16.

Have you tried the fix that worked for Lubuntu 12.04: delete the config file (~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml). Then you open your Openbox GUI setting manager again and set back the font, order of your buttons,..

You just have to set one thing in the OBox GUI:
->Appearance/Fonts:Active window title
-> the size of the font has to be set at 11.

The font size has to be "just right" to make this theme work. Too small, or too big, will cause the buttons to look funny. The correct size can vary from one font to another.
I don't think this is a major problem, just something to be aware of.

I found another OB theme that I like, so it's not a major problem. If this theme working for other people then let's not spend more time debugging this.
