And you are referring to the Openbox themes themselves and not the
corresponding GTK2 themes coming with some of them? As you probably
know, the Openbox themes themselves are not responsible for what's
happening inside application windows. That's why you will have so set
Openbox and GTK2 (or Qt etc.) themes separately. Maybe
lxappearance-obconf tries to find the GTK themes automatically.

Well, I wasn't going to edit anything, but there are new versions for
some of those themes that we could try. Maybe we could try building
per-collection packages right away. I'll think of something.

As it seems, some of the theme creators are taking care of GTK3 support
upstream. But as GTK3 seems to excel in regular API breakage that
doesn't really help either.
