i can't see how this would make any significant difference and would
create incommensurable theme files that would not be able to be used by
anyone equally using openbox; this would be confusing and annoying. Any
xpms would suffer the same problem with scaling and font sizes that the
xbms do anyway. xbms are fine; they work. if this was xbms vs pngs, i
could at least see what the problem was, xbm vs xpm is pointless - the
payoff is minimal at best and would probably produce even uglier themes
anyway, i don't see any one making any new themes anyway? 

all the love in the world,
