they should both be the same file, I updated the OP with the new file, if it has gtk-2.0 metacity-1 openbox-3 and xfwm4, then that is the proper file, the newest one with all the updates.
(update) fixed external download link, all should be working fine now, let me know.

Ok, I have updated the package to include XFWM4, and OpenBox themes, so I believe the theme is now complete, and should work on any desktop.
Here is an updated screenshot, using XFWM4 as the window manager rather than my usual Compiz, so it's showing the ACTUAL XFCE look, as you should experience on your desktop

I have updated the original post, but will add a download link to an offsite download here, as to not overload the servers with the same file download here
Let me know what you all think, and if there area any issues with anything, and will see what I can do. I don't have openbox installed, so if someone could tell me if it looks right there, I would appreciate it, it may be backwards with the color gradients, and if that is the case, let me know so i can fix it.

I finally went over to Mr. Peachy's new clock, but me being me, i had to edit it, make it bigger, add gradient clock hands, change colors, add a digital readout so that i can see the time at a glance, and will most likely add a  few more things before im done, but this is my latest desktop setup.

Nice McLovin...  8)

Is it good to go as part of the VSIDO build now?  Can I include it as a theme?
That would be great, I would be honored in fact, I am still working on the xfwm4 and openbox sections, but I will get those worked out, so they work with no issues, if anyone has any issues, let me know, and I will do what I can do correct them, still learning the XFCE theme settings for window boarders, and the openbox stuff should be easy enough, all I have to do is put the buttons in the right format and them edit the themerc file there, so that should be done tonight. I have been sick for the last few days, so I haven't really been working on things.

OP updated with new archive that has the window boarder theme in it, as I stated in the update, it all named McLurreza now, so you can just select it from your theme settings, enjoy.

I made my own custom theme using the murrine engine, and thought I would just share it with everyone, see who likes it and who doesn't, here is a screenshot

and you can download it directly from this post, let me know what you all think. BTW, I'm using a customized RGBAmbiance-1 window boarder theme, so if you would prefer that as your window boarders, let me know, and I'll make a package with that one.
(Update)As promised, here is an updated archive with the window boarders/metacity/marco theme that I use, I have modified everything so it is all named McLurreza, so you can select just that and use it, and all should be good. Let me know how everything works for everyone.
(2nd Update added XFWM4, and OpenBox themes to the package)

My system is based from a Dell Studio XPS8000, then custmized and upgraded with various items, all that is left from the original system is the mobo and cpu, and I have updated the bios to the latest version, still looking for a custom Bios to flash onto this thing to unlock it.

Everything worked out of the box, though I did install my custom kernel, and the Nvidia prop. drivers, which did require some finesse due to the location of where my custom kernels put the header files, so unless you use a custom kernel, they should install just fine for you.

No Problem, Thanx for reposting it, I thought I had put it in the right spot, but then again, I could be very wrong on where I put it. I'm gonna start working on a new in python, as I think I may be able to get more fine grained control in Python, I'm most likely gonna use one I have for rhythmbox for reference, and I plan on adding length and position to the output.

Awesome falldown and S11


One suggestion falldown... possible for that wallpaper without the blue in the "VSIDO" but perhaps debian pink like from the swirl?  :)
NO PINK!!!!!

More or less still the same setup, using my own custom theme, this time using (gulp) MATE Desktop, still using my old faithful Chrono-9000 setup, but I use GMB now for a music player, still trying to get the version VastOne ships in the user folder to work right with it.
