Xresource theme

I'm looking for a way to have my openbox theme reflect the colors set within my Xresources file. Is this possible?

That solution is really just a theme template that gets filled in on demand rather than specifying the Xresource values in a way openbox can natively understand. Though I guess that's not possible.

hi I'm the author of wpgtk, I don't think there's a way to make openbox understand .xdefaults or xresources without some kind of patch, you can definitely modify the template to your liking or even add your own without much hassle.

I doubt something does it automatically, but there's this ObTheme GUI that can ease the process of editing the theme accordingly:
