Hi, installed Salix 13.1 LXDE and was wondering, how do I get other themes that work with LXDE, or at least change the default menubar color from the default blue?

thanks

LXDE is using openbox as the default window manager. You should use obconf if you want to change any openbox properties.

okay, maybe I'm not being too clear. LXAppearence is installed and I can change window themes, but what I want to do is change the color of the menu bar/decorations etc. not just the window theme.

oops, I found what I needed. I had to install OBconf first, duh me.
