all. I have switched to openbox from Gnome and would now like to stop using Metacity altogether. When I was using metacity I had both a control theme (e.g. gtk theme) and fonts set up how I liked them in gnome-appearance-proporties. When Openbox starts, it gets my window borders up properly (ofc.) but fails to render my fonts properly and uses the wrong gtk theme. I can't find anywhere to specify which gtk theme to use or what method to render my text with. After Openbox is finished doing it's thing, and I run gnome-apperance-properties manually, it will automatically set everything to it's proper value, but I don't want to have to do this as it takes several seconds to preform and I'd rather not have it jury rigged like this.

Thank you!

I think you want ~/.gtk2rc, or something similar. I forget what file specifically. – Daenyth Jul 7 '10 at 3:37

Gtk theme, icon and font settings can be specified in the file:

$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0

If you don't want to manually edit this file, try lxappearance.

/usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon manages all of this. I run it at startup now to avoid having to deal with the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and font configs.
