That would be where to change the layout of where the frame elements
are.  The code in there is a little ad-hoc and not the prettiest in
the codebase.  You'd also need to change the rendering subsystem
(obrender/obrender.h:_RrTextureText, obrender/font.c:RrFontDraw) to
handle vertical font rendering.  And perhaps theme or config options
for it (obrender/theme.[ch] or openbox/config.[ch]).
