I agree with that. It would be nice to have some Blackbox themes
that closely match with some good and widely used gtk/qt themes. The
Gtk theme Xeno* family has a very professional, clean look, and I'm
already busy making a good machting Blackbox theme.

Also I'm researching some different Meta-theme solutions. That way,
when the user chooses a theme, blackbox and gtk and qt and motif and
xaw3d could change to corresponding looks, when available.

I think the layout of gtk themes already is prepared for this (e.g.:

/usr/share/themes/MyUberCoOlTheMe/gtk/gtkrc
/usr/share/themes/MyUberCoOlTheMe/qt2/
/usr/share/themes/MyUberCoOlTheMe/blackbox/
/usr/share/themes/MyUberCoOlTheMe/xaw/

And when there is standardized on a solution to signal theme changes,
one could select a nice theme from the Whatever Control Center and
have Blackbox nicely react as well. Of course Blackbox should always
retain its own elegant style switching solution. (IMHO bb makes for a
very cool and complete desktop env. with just some rxvt's and a fast
fm like ROX)

sorry for the long rant,
have fun,
