Hi,

I like those designs, but I am not decided which way I like most. I
think we can also gather more design suggestions and it is always
easier to see, than to hear how something looks like.

Fedora created an adapted them for the LXDE spin. Openbox is just one
part, we also need to create athe theme in LXAppearance. There is no
general config file - it is actual designed this way currently, as
there is no other lightweight solution yet.

Generally would be good to get closer to the LXDE blue. Lets also try
to find something that looks light. UbuntuHuman looks somewhat heavy I
feel.

The forum for lubuntu designs is open here:

Best,

- Mario
