Nice. But the package meta data would have to be revised for an official
Devuan package, I guess.

What exactly do you mean by "some themes don't work"? I use obconf for
setting the wm theme and gtk-theme-switch2 for setting the GTK theme. I
just installed the openbox-themes package again and went through all the
themes as well as the corresponding GTK themes where available. I
couldn't make out any problem.

Good. I think that would make a lot of sense, from a user perspective as
well as for maintenance purposes. So, if I gave you the theme files,
could you package them? That would be great. As soon as I'm able to do
the packaging myself, I could take over all the maintenance.

Well, I don't know if it's a reasonable aim to make anything work with
GTK3. From what I've read, theming for GTK3 seems like a tedious waste
of time. I mean, if someone volunteers to do it, great. But I don't
really mind if that doesn't happen.
